Could not connect to smtp host : 65 : No route to host

[Edd]

I have read the threads, but am a new user so could have missed this.

I tried using the default (non-smtp) ecard sending way but it would only send if the sender was using an email within my domain. (I tried 5 or 6 variations (all of which were real addresses) and mutliple fake one (microsoft.com apple.com) "Sorry but the server can't send your e-card... "

So I wanted to try smtp.

Gmail is out of the questions right? because it's secured

Yahoo webhosting server didn't work,

cox.net server did not work,

my 3rd email smtp didn't work either.

I just get Could not connect to smtp host : 65 : No route to host

is this a simple fix or just a function of using yahoo to host?

help would be great.

this was my work around in mailer.inc.php to allow any email address to be entered when using the sendmail():

Code Select Expand

$extra_headers = "From: $sender_name"."($sender_email".") <eCards@mydomain.com>\n"From:

Code Select Expand

$extra_headers = "From: $sender_name <$sender_email>\n"

Thanks
