It works like a clock.

Yes, I believe it is. On top of what you edited above, try adding the following directly after that row:

$message = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message);

i didn't work... same error message.

do you really think it's something with the code, tough?

Try this. Open up include/email.php and locate the row:

$headers = 'From: '.$from."\n".'Date: '.date('r')."\n".'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\n".'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'."\n".'Content-type: text/plain; charset='.$lang_common['lang_encoding']."\n".'X-Mailer: PunBB Mailer';

Replace it with

$headers = 'From: '.$from."\r\n".'Date: '.date('r')."\r\n".'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n".'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'."\r\n".'Content-type: text/plain; charset='.$lang_common['lang_encoding']."\r\n".'X-Mailer: PunBB Mailer';

And see if that helps, if it doesn't just say so and we will try something different.

i did read that page about ten times, but it doesn't make any seens to me. it worked on one other server (that has been put down).

if it's just that, then i'm verry gratefull.
have spent an hour to find another smtp-server with short username. but it aint so easy to find one...

i realy hope ju solve it, cause I can't.

Aha. If you read the page it links to, there appears to be a problem with linebreaks in the mails sent out by PunBB. I'll have a look at it later tonight.

Hmm, you say it didn't help. What happens then?

thanks... it didn't solve it.
but it ruled out a couple of things.

If you're using PunBB 1.1 or later it should only be a matter of changing maxlength="25" to a higher value in admin_options.php. If you're using an older version, it's a bit harder. The line to edit is line 395.

Isn't it easier to change the username?

I have a verry long SMTP-username to use with my SMTP-server, 35chars or so. One problem tough... it doesn't fit in the textfield. It supports only 25 chars.

I've tried to change this in 'admin_options.php' but it seems not to work, is there any table in the mysql database I have to change too?
