I am trying to get the email system on the board working My board will send emails to my domain email but not to any out side of the hosts domain (brinkster)
I have checked to see if I can send an email from my domain email to an outside email and I can, does this mean there is a problem in the forums config or could it be anything else, basically my email functions normally but the snitz forum will only send to my domain based emails.
Can anybody help with this so I can stop having to manually send out validation emails?
Brinkster require you to supply a username and password to the mail server before you can send mail.
You need to use CDOSYS in order to do this. Set CDOSYS as the email component in the Email Server Config.
Edit inc_mail.asp (just under case "CDOSYS") Find the lines which are commented out and uncomment them. Edit them to reflect your brinkster username (email address and password)
/smtpserver should be a mail server address not an email address.
If you have a domain hosted at brinkster it would probably be that. If you don't have a domain hosted with Brinkster you would have to ask them which mail server to send it through.
/sendusername should be a brinkster hosted email address
Did you get an email address from Brinkster when you signed up? More than likely you would have to use the mail server, username and password they supplied.
Let me know if you get it working. I'm writing a document with the most common email problems in it so any information you can supply if you get it working would help future users.
Glad you got it working, finally. I'll add your code as an example.
When you setup the Brinkster hosting account did you get an email address with it or did you have to signup somewhere to get the brinkster email address?
From memory I didnt get one when I signed up, however in the admin area of brinkster you have an email manager section. The section is where you ad email accounts to your domain, the Brinkster side of the emails was empty so I added one which is the one I used in that code. I used myusername@brinkster.net
Good luck with the document and thanks again for the help.
I cannot seem to get mail working either? When I made changes to the inc_mail.asp file as shown in this thread, the forum stopped accepting logons? Do I make the changes in Admin Function under E-mail Server Configurations too? I have the e-mail mode ON, CDOSYS (IIS5/5.1/6), mail.wb1gof.org,*****@wb1gof.org
I confirmed the syntax for sending email to my local smtp server... made the changes... but still get an error like thes when I tried to update my own profile.
There Was A Problem With Your Details Your request was not sent due to the following error: The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x800ccc15. The server response was not available.
Is there another way to verify the smtp portion of the forum is working at all?
