Your SMTP Server Requires Authentication?

[mriksman]

Hi all,

 

This was almost TOO dumb! I was trying to change the general.php to use another form of mail sending that supports authentication, but then realised a simple simple procedure

 

If your mail server requires authentication (to stop relaying), MAKE SURE that in the php.ini, the 'smtp server' is set to LOCALHOST, not mail.whatever.com.au. Then just make sure that 127.0.0.1 has unrestricted access to the smtp server (in your mail server settings)!

 

Nice.
