Did you enter smtp info in include/mailer.inc.php?

[doggiepowers]

[Tranz]

Do they not have a forum or support?

[doggiepowers]

well the thing is that they have like a authentication thing but idk if the gallery has authentication wen it comes to email. for me i would asp and its a straight forward authentication. if i send an email use authentication and its sent. does the gallery have authentication?

Not sure what you mean (language issue for me), but coppermine itself doesn't do any email authentification at all - it uses the php command mail() which is basically sendmail, or it uses smtp wihich comes with it's own auth scheme. This means: your webserver has to be configured to do authentification, coppermine doesn't.

hmm interesting ok i did before have an issue with authentication before so I guess i need to look into that some more.

Thanks I will post up a response incase someone else tries to use brinkster and CPG
