This is a long and detailed post...

I installed the froums and they seem to work fine. But I keep getting mailing errors on the forums. the site sends mail fine.

I guess what im asking is do i need to edit any settings in the emailer.php or SMTP.php to make the site use the mail function. This is what im using for mail server. http://www.qksoft.com/qk-smtp-server/

Here is an example of a mass email attempt

Then when posting

Another one posting

this is line 239 of emailer.php include('includes/smtp.' . $phpEx);

Line 242 of emailer.php $result = smtpmail($to, $this->subject, $this->msg, $this->extra_headers);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line 153 of smtp.php // Wait for reply

Line 154 of SMTP.PHP server_parse($socket, "220", __LINE__);

line 174 of smtp.php fputs($socket, "HELO " . $board_config['smtp_host'] . "\r\n");

Line 175 of SMTP.php server_parse($socket, "220", __LINE__);

are these correct?

Instead of modifying the files make sure Use SMTP Server for email is set to no in the forum's admin section under configuration.

Thats the first thing i checked, its off.

I missed the line 239 error on emailer.php you posted, try changing:

Flatliner · Resource Seeker

Well the first one has changed to this

Couldn't get mail server response codes

DEBUG MODE

Line : 175
File : D:\flatlinerscorner\Flatlinerscorner\Site\includes\smtp.php

Line 175 reads like this: server_parse($socket, "250", __LINE__);

LOL seems its going random now

Line 154 reads : server_parse($socket, "220", __LINE__);

What i find odd although i could be wrong, is that smtp.php should not be included if use smtp is set to no, i have to wonder is the $use_smtp var is getting killed, are you by chance using BBtoNuke 2.0.10? if so open your common.php file and check if the first function in it is called function unset_vars, if yes post it.

Let's try adding the var to that filter to see if it makes any difference, most likely no but worth trying.

Guess time to start looking outside the site like php.ini or the Apache files.
Dunno what else to look at now

Are you running your own server, does mail work with feedback and user registration?
