Topic: No email registration

Ok after countless hours of trying every different avenue of resources i still cant get email validation to work.

i logged into ADMIN CP and setup the options section. I have small business hosting with yahoo. And their email requires SMTP with SSL authentication on a specific port.

Ive typed in the SMTP server with custom port number that was required by the webhoster. but when i go to create a new account it doesnt work and i get an error saying HOST NOT FOUND etc.

Now my question is that does PUNBB have support for SSL or is it just basic SMTP? and the yahoo server uses SMTP with SSL authentication which requires a UID and PASS which i have.

Any out looks on this?

SMTP server example: bitz.mail.yahoo.com:499
uid: user@domain.com
pass: 34623984237

ANd when i go to create a new user it doesnt work.

Any help would be thank ful.

You can't use SMTP with SSL with PunBB 1.2 by default.

Found it, and yes your code works.

YOUR A F*cking genius! This would work with GMAIL as well. I confirmed it. Thank you
