| Hello. Remember me guys? Well Im back, I decided to get started with my own server again. I still cant figure out how to send outgoing email automatically (like when someone joins, it creates a password and sends it out), now, I've tried anything. Ill pay anyone 25 dollars if they can set this all up so it works. Ill give you full ftp access, and if they setup an account that works with my server at no-ip.com, or whichever will work. hehe Im desprite :) thanks |

| Yeah stuff like that, but it would mostly be like the forums (phpbb2), or vbulletin. Usually we have to make it so we have to accept them in and activate there account manually. thats a pain when you have more than 20 people joining a day X_x |

Are you sure the email settings are correct? The only problem ive had with xmail, is some (Yahoo for example) will put my emails sent from my server in the bulk folder, AOL on the other hand simply rejects non-commercial (personal) mail servers..
Or are you saying it simply doesnt send out emails? ive had no problems sending emails.. best to use php_mail (check your php.ini for correct settings) |

| Yeah, It doesn't even send out email. It just sends it to admin@localhost and nothing to outer servers. What are you all using for your setup? Could you give me an example of what your setup file looks like? Because all this is sooo confusing to me...lol. Im Sure I will get it some time in the future, hopefully. |

1. Which are you using Vbulliten or phpBB2?
2. If it is sending the mail to admin@localhost only then, assuming you are using phpBB2, the phpBB2 is working fine.
However you need to configure xmail to use an external e-mail server. Or make changes in your php.ini file so it directs to an external e-mail server.
XMail Configurations
1. Log in under the CTRL account. (Usualy username:root password:[yourpassword])
2. In the Server Config settings make the necessary changes to:
a>SmtpServerDomain
b>POP3Domain
3. Verify that phpBB2 is using the correct SMTP server address, SMTP username/password.
**Remeber to Restart the Apache server after you make any changes to the php.ini file so it will reflect the changes.

I've had this same problem before while I was using a set of vbulletin forums. I e-mailed the vbulletin support team and this is what they told me:
Quote: You need to change this section of the php.ini:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = outgoing.domain.net ; for Win32 only
sendmail_from= postmaster@domain.net ; for Win32 only
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
Information about the PHP configuration file (php.ini) can be found at the PHP website in the documentation.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php
All the best,

mailto:wayne@vbulletin.com
I did that and then I could send e-mails out.
Goodluck and Godbless,
