I doubt anyone wants your money... Virtually every frequent visitor to this forum is willing to lend a hand. You are asked to read and apply any applicable instructions and to *search this forum* to see if you questions have already been answered.
Once you have done your part, give a shout... Snitz'ers are more than willing to help.
What problem(s) is/are you having?< |

Hi All - I'm in the same boat - I'm not a DBA or Web guy. I have set up a health support forum using snitz. Having been spammed to death I turned on New account Approval by Admin mode. The bots are now sending new account creation request by 20-30 per day. 1/2 from one site Ip address. In the absence of a "Type the random word key to process new account" funtion I would like to edit the new user registration asp? To state you new accounts must have start with the prefix xx. Happy to PayPal anyone. Tried hiding the version / bulletin engine info. This fails to keep my site off the radar.
Help and thanks for your time. SP, blueicesynergy @ hotmail com

Thanks guys for the feed back. I was not sure how the email to inbox activation mode worked as the awaiting for approval list keep growing. Email activation was turned on. But I cannot see a UID and PW section to configure for access to bounce SMTP emails via hosting ISP servers which I have an account. New registrations are not receiving activation emails. Someone has offered to help for a small fee. May take up offer
A setup manual for email activation setups would be great as I orginal paid someone form India to sent up Snitz.
How to configure SMTP email server UID and PW for new registration email activations
Cheers
JB

first you need to know what email component are you using (under Administration Options > E-mail Server Configuration)
I'm using ASPEmail because my hosting supports it (they have the component to use for free) and because of security issues they said to me that I needed to send my emails from the same email address that my account was.
So, first you need to create your own POP3 account, let's imagine no-reply@domain.com
once you have this account up and ready, with your username and password to access the mailbox, you take this and open inc_mail.asp file.
Because I am using ASPEmail component the code starts in line 54, if you are using other component, search for the correct CASE statment
the code is:
case "aspemail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.AddReplyTo strSender
objNewMail.Host = strMailServer
objNewMail.AddAddress strRecipients, strRecipientsName
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.Body = strMessage
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
and all you need to do is add some code like:
case "aspemail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.From = "no-reply @ domain.com" '<-- Add the email address without spaces!
objNewMail.AddReplyTo strSender
objNewMail.Host = strMailServer
objNewMail.Username = "my POP3 username"
objNewMail.Password = "my POP3 password"
objNewMail.AddAddress strRecipients, strRecipientsName
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.Body = strMessage
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
P.S. I had to manually write the objNewMail.From because the email that I use as Administration Mail is not the same as my POP3 account email address and my hosting company told me that they has to be the same in order to be sent (and not be flagged as SPAM), this is as I mention before, one of the first rules that mail servers use so no one can send emails from with a different email address as "From" and for this not acting like someone else (SPAM / Phishing).
P.P.S. You can see all the ASPEmail methods that you can use in there Online Manual< |
