I don't have the exact error, but it said something to the extent of 'Relay not permitted for me@what.cx.gov'.

I found a workaround in just using a remote postfix server for now. I'd like to deliver locally though.

I'm trying to config pun to use a local email server. The server is running windows server 2003, PHP 5.2.0, Mysql 5.0, and the built in email server that's included with the whole operating system. I don't know what it's really called because my knowledge of windows servers is limited, but the smtp banner says "Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830".

I got the forum working with mysql, proper permissions and everything, but for some reason email is failing. I set the forum to use "localhost" as the smtp server, and didn't config it to use any authentication system since most mail servers permit all types of email when the sender is on the local machine. However, in this case it just told me that it couldn't relay email to my email address which exists on a remote server.

So, i went back and set it to use a local account that i created in the pop3 service manager, but now it spits this out:

Error: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the forum administrator with the following error message reported by the SMTP server: "504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type ".

Could anybody help me out? Thanks.

You should make an RSS feed for update notifications.

[edit]

also, could you provide some manual patching instructions? I don't want to undo all my hacks.

For those of you looking for a little more light registration lockdown, You can use this code to limit 1 registration per ip per 15 minutes:

$result = $db->query('SELECT 1 FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE registration_ip=\''.get_remote_address().'\' AND registered>'.(time() - 900)) or error('Unable to fetch user info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

I redid the body gradient as you specified, and worked in another color scheme modification that some other forum people suggested. Thanks for the input.

Hello Internet,

I've been working on restyling the default Oxygen style for the better part of the night, and I've come up with a decent draft of how I want it. You can view the style at http://forums.photos.cx .

I'm still looking for critique in regards to what could be improved. If you have any ideas, let me know, and i'll implement those suggestions I agree with. The forum itself isn't started yet. I just installed pun tonight and started hacking away. I'm probably going to restyle the website index page based on the final draft of the forum style.

Your critique is appreciated, thanks.
