Title: SMTP Settings Defined, but CPG insists using Sendmail!
Post by: alphaseven on June 26, 2005, 05:20:56 PM
Hello,

I am trying to get the ecard function to send. I need to use SMTP settings (my ISP email acct.) I have entered the required info in the mailer.inc.php file (yes, I use Eudora, Outlook, Thunderbird, so I know what I'm doing here).

($CONFIG['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.patmedia.net';   VERIFIED, my ISP
$CONFIG['smtp_username'] = 'username';        My USERNAME, no guesses here
$CONFIG['smtp_password'] = 'password';).       My PASSWORD, certainly no guesses here.

But, whenever I click the Send Ecard, always get this message:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 503 Error: authentication not enabled

It appears to insist on using Sendmail (???). see debug info below. My ISP blocks incoming request for port 25, so, gotta use SMTP here.
I am running CPG 1.32 (standalone + pnCPG), on a Linux (Fedora Core 2), Apache 2, MySQL  3.23.58, and PHP  4.3.10. I am soon to move to Fedora Core 4 (PHP5, etc.).

I'd really appreciate any suggestions/help that anyone could provide.

It could be the sender email that's causing the problem.  Sometimes SMTP servers require the sender email address to match the one for the account.  Does the gallery administrator email match your account's email address?  Try changing it.
