HighFlyerPL185 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hello there, I have an issue with the site e-mails, they basically don't send. Whenever I activate a new pilot, they never receive a message. I tried the "Contact Us" form too, and that didn't seem to send anything to my e-mail. I researched about it a little on the forums, and it could be due to the fact I have a gmail address, however I am unable to tackle the issue, since I have no idea how would I do that, or where the problem lies. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any help Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightguy123 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Are you trying to run it off an SMTP or are you still running it off the PHPmailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighFlyerPL185 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Are you trying to run it off an SMTP or are you still running it off the PHPmailer? SMTP that is. I tried borrowing the settings from there, didn't seem to work... http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/5076-smtp/ Of course changed the details to match my account accordingly.

Flightguy123 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Are you using free hosting or paid hosting? That shouldnt make a difference in this case, however what I did with my VA was to go in core/lib/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php and on line 186 - 224 are the settings. The local config SMTP didnt work when i tried either, so i did this instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighFlyerPL185 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for your efforts, however this doesn't seem to work for me Unless I've done something wrong. Here's my settings, I've cut out the commented green bits, so there's less spam... public $Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; public $Port = 465; public $Helo = '$Hostname'; public $SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; public $SMTPAuth = true; public $Username = 'kamil1995b@gmail.com'; public $Password = '*******'; public $Timeout = 10; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to ask your hosting provider which smtp host you could/should use to send your emails out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
