[SOLVED]CMSmailer won't send test message using smtp

[aspires]

Hi:

PHP 5
MySQL 5
1.2.5 CMS

CMSMailer:

I believe I am configured correctly. I created an email address at my domain name. Tested it, it sends and receives emails via webmail.

Configured CSMmailer using smtp authentication required and included the email address as the username and the correct password and smtp hostname is:
smtp.wallacespringscattlecompany.ca (smtp.yourdomain.ca) (in Canada) as directed by host company.

Checked the password and settings several times and when I enter another email and do a test email to my gmail address I get nothing. Checked spam and it is not getting filtered. It seems to go, everything seems to run and it returns to the same settings screen in cmsmailer.

Is there anything else I should check on?

NOTE: Tested using sendmail only without smtp authentication--it worked--do I need to use the smtp authentication?

Cheers all
Andrea

The "smtp.wallacespringscattlecompany.ca" is most often just for sending mail from your email client, thunderbird, outlook express, etc....

I just use sendmail with all the rest set at the default...

If you use sendmail and receive the test email your good to go...
