Connorhd you are a star! - yes like smarty i assumed i had to fill in all the boxes.

Problem solved - thread closed

This was the exact wording -

" Please note: To send e-mail using the SMTP-Server, activate SMTP Authentification. Please do not use the Secure Password Authentification (SPA) option. Optionally, port 587 can also be used in addition to the default port RRFC 2476. "


Also - it seems I need to add this line somewhere?


                   smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes


Any ideas welcome - thanks

I've checked with my ISP help docs and it states:

"Activate SMTP Authentification. [not Secure Password Authentification (SPA)]"

Is is possible to do this - and how?

thanks

oh - thanks in the footer td, doh!

yes - it's the exact smtp setting i use for my other email clients. eg outlook express, webmail  -
My ISP also uses auth.smtp.xxxx.xxx which I've also tried with no luck. does punBB except auth.smtp settings?

I'm login in as admin
but I can't see a create Sticky post?
