Hi.

SMPT must not be configured properly.  This can only be fixed by the admin of your server.

Check to see if your server supports the mail() function.  You will have to contact your server admin.  They are the only ones that can help you configure it properly.  They may not even allow use of the mail() function on their servers.

  Think i might have seen the problem th e-mail address is wrong in this error message

2: mail(): SMTP server response: 550-Verification failed for <[email protected]> 550-Unrouteable address 550 Sender verify failed
(E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Latest\LANCLAN\yabbse\Sources\Subs.php ln 443)

but i can't find where to change the e-mail
I have checked all my e-mail clients and can't seem to see a problem there.
argghhh!!
if someone can help me this would be great!!!

Regardless if the email is wrong, the function will not return an error because of an invalid email, sorry, but it just wont.

The only possible ways I can see you getting an error is if SMTP is not configured properly on your server.  You would need SMTP configured properly for the mail() function to work.

You should try to find a host that supports it.

Also, check to see in the PHP Info that it is supported using this script.

Code Select Expand

<?phpphpinfo();?>




save that as phpinfo.php and upload it to your host and find the area that mentions SMTP

You will have to contact your hosting admin to find out if it is enabled.

I can't say 100% that everything I said is correct because it has been a while since I have had this problem.

You can also change your SMTP settings in the "Installed 'Mods' Settings and Options" page.
