how to configure CMSMailer

Post by Essie »

I know it's x'mas eve tonight so I don't expect any quick response to my question.  But whenever anyone has the time to help me out here, I would be greatly appreciated.

I am having a mega problem with CMSMailer. I don't know why I keep getting error messages and it won't send out emails.

Code: Select all

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mail.mydomain.com:25 in /path/to/public_html/modules/CMSMailer/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105
For course, I put down my actual domain name in mail.mydomain.com.  But it's not working.  Could someone coach me how to input the correct setting?

I am using STMP setting
STMP hostname: mydomainname.com
Port Server : 25
Sendmail location: /usr/sbin/sendmail

thanks.

It sounds like either you're not providing all of the information needed to connect to the mail server, or your mail server has some added security built in.

a) try telnetting to mail.mydomain.com on port 25 and see if you can establish a connection...... from your web host if possible.  if that is possible, then there is no firewall rule blocking you.

b) you may have to check with your server admins to see if SMTP auth or some type of thing is required in order to connect to your mail server.
