Sending Email Problem

[Chuckie]

The server were on @ present needs us to login the outgoing mail server to allow us to send mail through them. So the website can send out emails but we can not. If i change the smtp server address to our isps address, our site cant send emails but we can.

What i need to know is can actinic be made to login into the outgoing mail server like outlook can ? ? ? ? ?


Please say yes

I'm afraid not. But as more and more ISP's seem to be moving to Authenticated SMTP I hope Actinic will be doing something about it real soon. It's not just a V5 problem - V6 is no better.

If your ISP supports Sendmail (or a similar mail program) then I've a patch that uses the Perl Mail::Mailer module (they'll need that installed as well) to send e-mails that way.

I've attached a README regarding this but check with your ISP for the 2 things you'll need available as above.

It's tested with V6 but I'm pretty sure that V5 used exactly the same code.
