What is your local mail program? Post settings of this program, please.

It says "leave blank for LOCAL mail program" so I don't exactly know them, unless you can tell me somewhere I can find them?

I was using this previously;

SMTP server address: smtp.nildram.co.uk:25

Username & Password was blank.

When I use that SMTP I get the following error:

Error: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the forum administrator with the following error message reported by the SMTP server: "530 Authentication required ".

But when I leave it BLANK it says that it is using local program and I get this;

An e-mail has been sent to the specified address with instructions on how to change your password. If it does not arrive you can contact the forum administrator at ****@*******.com.

Go back

The problem is that it doesn't actually send the e-mail at all.

Many thanks

Greets everyone,

I am currently having problems on my PunBB 1.2.17 forum.

The problem is that my when a user selects "Forgot password" and types in their e-mail address to submit it the output error recieved is:


An error was encountered
Error: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the forum administrator with the following error message reported by the SMTP server: "530 Authentication required ".

I have tried to google up some stuff but have had no luck.

I am using a domain at GoDaddy that is supposed to be sending the username-password to my the users that request the "forgot password".

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Many thanks


*EDIT* Ok I seem to have got it to work by leaving it blank so that it uses the local mail program but the problem is that it doesn't actually send a new password to the email address. It says that it has sent it but it hasn't:

An e-mail has been sent to the specified address with instructions on how to change your password. If it does not arrive you can contact the forum administrator at *****@*****.com.
