vBulletin 3.0.0.B7 Mail Server Settings

[siberblade]

Hi,

Having installed vBulletin 3.0.0 beta 7, but mail settings seems to be trouble
When diagnosing within vBulletin the following error appears:

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in

Tried editing \includes\config.php and added:
ini_set("sendmail_from", " webmaster@*********.net ");
That worked

Then tried editing config.php and added:
ini_set("smtpserver", " mail.*********.net ");
That didn't work.

Searched vbulletin forum without succes. Everbody says you have to edit php.ini but that is a file which cannot be edited.

Is there a solution? Are there vBulletin users besides jodohost hosting on jodohost (strange question, but you get my drift)?

Thanks!

vBulletin allows you to specify a SMTP server. Just enter "mail.yourdomain.com" over there (where you replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain

I have searched through the sources and looked for 'localhost' and 'mail' and 'smtp' but I can't find the editable option your mentioning.

Could you please point it out where to set my mail.domainname ?

Regards!

Found the solution.
It's case sensitive.
Edit the config.php and add the following:

ini_set("sendmail_from", " webmaster@*******.net ");
ini_set("SMTP", "mail.*******.net");

That's it and that's that.

Yoehaa...

Closing....
