suggestions with oscmax smtp setup

**blackhawk** · 08-12-2009, 06:33 AM

Hello, I read through the basics on installing smtp through the admin panel, but I'm getting an error when setting up more than one top administrator.

With the default installation of oscmax (in my windows environment) i'm getting the following error when trying to create another top administrator....

Code:

Warning:  mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550-(rick-pc) [69.5.34.154] is currently not permitted to relay through this 550-server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 550 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your email client. in C:...catalogadminincludesclassesemail.php on line 521

I looked at the line of code in email.php and it shows me...

Code:

 if (EMAIL_TRANSPORT == 'smtp') {
        return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));
      } else {
        return mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));
      }
    }

Does anyone have recommendations on how to solve this issue? Also I see no place to authenticate smtp through oscmax. Is it possible for me to put in some authentication settings in email.php without modifying the php.ini file (i.e. host address, port number, required, username, password )? I won't have access to the php.ini file on my live host.

thanks

hmm...looks like the accounts are created and that error "only" accord the first time I created an additional admin, but not after that.

That's not an error you will have on your live site running on your server. It's trying to send an email when you create the admin and it cannot connect to your smtp which is how it should be.

If you on a TEST local host server - chances are you don't have a SMTP server or mail relay setup. As a default - it tries to email passwords if your setting up new admin users....

Live server would have the smtp properly setup and working.
