Email notification on NT

[silicate]

Is there any "trick" to setting up email notification with an NT server, I am having some issues, when i tried SMTP server i get a error in subs.php 274, any help?  

[KnightTemplar]

i have mine set to--->

2 - Net::SMTP

$smtp_server = "x.x.x.x";    

instead of mail add i.e.


smtp.mysite.com

yes, very tricky!!

first, for windows you dont need a sendmail program, instead go to php.ini in c:\winnt and find [mail function] and change the smtp line to be your smtp server.

second, Check here for the code that i modified.

third, if you still have problems im or email me at [email protected]

Thanks, ill give it a whorl

i kinda figured out what you were trying todo after mesising with it for a few minutes, so i changed the $from to blah\@myemail.com

because your orignal suggestion yeilded an error, something like, Missing arg: sendmail() argument 4 or something

anyways.. i still got that damn Failed to Receive message, i am not sure you'll be able to understand this post much.. but any other suggestions?

leve $from to  [email protected]

But chang the SMTP to your mail servers IP x.x.x.x

ya, hmm... i already tried that *shrug*  

[KnightTemplar]

$mailprog = mail.mysite.com";                                     Location of your sendmail program
$smtp_server = "x.x.x.x";  
# SMTP-Server
$webmaster_email = q^[email protected]^;Your e-mail address.

$mailtype = 2;  
Net::SMTP


And that should work. That is how my NT is set and works.

I went to the dam server and copied it verbatim.

Do you actually get notifications Templar?

[KnightTemplar]

ooops,,,,,, this is SE isn't it, works for sp-1, I need to get a life and stay off thease boards, I cant remember ware I am.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe I thought I remembered leaving SMTP out for now  Just didn't have time to release it

[silicate]

is that a "negative" on the email notification on NT sir?

roger copy

ok, hmm well first did you edit the php.ini file?

second, just to be clear:
in subs.php replace:

Code Select Expand

function sendmail($to,$subject,$message,$from = null) {

    global $mailtype,$webmaster_email;
   if ($from==null){ $from=$webmaster_email; }
   $mail_result = mail ($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\r\n");
    return $mail_result;
}

with this:

Code Select Expand

function sendmail($to,$subject,$message,$from) {

    global $mailtype,$webmaster_email;
   if ($from==null){ $from=$webmaster_email; }
    mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\r\n");
}

then in admin.php (under: function ml()):

Code Select Expand

if ($curmem != '')
   sendmail( $curmem, "$mbname: $subject", "$message\n\n$txt[130]\n\n$scripturl");

with:

Code Select Expand

if ($curmem != '')
   sendmail($curmem, "$mbname: $subject", "$message\n\n$txt[130]\n\n$scripturl", $webmaster_email);

These are the only changes i made.  Maybe i made it more clear or maybe it still dosent work!  i hope it works, because mine works and so should yours( btw, youre smtp server works right?)

Followed your instructions word for word, character for character, with no mistakes, copy and paste...

2: Missing argument 4 for sendmail()
(c:\servers\apache\htdocs\forum\Sources\Subs.php ln 270)


Subs.php:

Code Select Expand

function sendmail($to,$subject,$message,$from) {
   global $mailtype,$webmaster_email;
   if ($from==null){ $from=$webmaster_email; }
    mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\r\n");
}

Admin.php

Code Select Expand

if ($curmem != '')
   sendmail($curmem, "$mbname: $subject", "$message\n\n$txt[130]\n\n$scripturl", $webmaster_email);
   }
