UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Version 7/8 Support UBB 7.0.1 emails not sending

Hi!

A few weeks ago our UBB 7.0.1 forum stopped sending emails. It just does not send any kind of notification email for any event to either administrators or users. As far as I know, we did not make any change that would cause this, so I am guessing something may have changed on our hosts' end. Is there a place where any UBB mail-sending actions or errors would be logged? I am going to contact the host next, but it would be nice to know exactly what I am asking them for as their tech support has been a bit uneven in the past. (This is a Windows host running PHP 4.4.1)

Thanks for any help!

Emails that are sent out aren't logged anywhere from .threads. Basically, it uses the phpmailer library, and by default that just uses the standard php mail() function. So, it could be something like the php.ini file was changed or something.

So, you'd be wanting to ask them if there have been any changes to php and sending mail.

OK, after quite a few emails with my host it seems that their PHP.ini is somewhat borked, but I can make the php mail function work if I include the following lines in a PHP mail test script:

ini_set("SMTP","mail.mysmtpserver.com");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set("sendmail_from","[email protected]");

Where do I need to put these in UBB? I am guessing in libs/phpmailer? Thanks for the assistance,

Mark

I believe the phpmailer class allows inputting an offset, additionally i think you could shove in an iniset there as well.
