Yes, my host has smtp. But like pretty much ALL hosts these days, they no longer allow 'relaying' or whatever it's called.
I can create 1000 email accounts and they'll all work fine. But when a forum member clicks a button "send email to this (other) user", PHP mail() sends it with *their* registered return email address, it does NOT come from an account I've set up. So it gets rejected. Right now I just have email features turned off. All forum 'business' email works fine since it all comes from _my_ account. But that really wouldn't work for people emailing each other. Sorry, I cannot login with Putty right now. It wants a username and password and I'm just too damn used to using Roboform and I really don't want to hassle with trying to find the darn login. The forum's admin control panel tells me it's "Linux, Apache 2.0.6.1 (cgi)" if that helps. I vaguely remember reading on their forum they use Posix(?). Again, if this is a lot of trouble, fighting spam or otherwise, I'll just leave emails turned off. Members can still PM each other and they can subscribe to instant email notifications of PMs (which come from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] account). ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
