Thanks. I hope it makes the cut.

I too would like to have multiple USERS (group members, not moderators) in multiple groups similar to JEEF's user B.
Users A,B,C need forum 1
Users A, C need also forum 2
User B needs also forum 3

For my own usage, the forums are all in the same PunBB "Category".

Sirena,
How did you discover the range of the dynamic address pool? and where can I find some docs on the "/18" part you mentioned?

PS. Forgot to mention that the name of the program to insert in the last step of the McAfee setup is the web-server program you are running. I was using Apache.exe. I assume you need to do the same in the Norton setup.  Additional thanks to the PSCS knowledge base.

FOUND IT!
1. See this website if running Norton or McAfee AV programs (unblocks port 25):

2. Be sure NOT to insert your userid and password in the PunBB options if your SMTP server does not REQUIRE it. Mine did NOT, but I thought they needed it to allow the connection. (I use roadrunner).

When I did the setup in (1) and removed the info in (2), my emails get sent. IF you only do part 1 and your SMTP server does NOT require the auithorization, you get the error "unknown command AUTH LOGIN".

I am now a happy camper!

Tried changing the timeout, but it didn't help. The error happens almost instantaneously after clicking on the submit button. I'll have to contact roadrunner (my ISP).

Thanks for all your help. I'll post here if/when I get an answer.

Turned off the MS firewall completely and still got the error. Nothing in the router seems to stop outbound traffic. Could this be an XP thing? Or something I need to set in PHP?

Smartys,
Do you know what outbound port is used by PunBB to connect to the ISP? I couldn't find anything related to PunBB, PHP or Apache in the Win firewall lists.

Hi Smartys,
My only firewall is the WinXP firewall, which I thought only restricted inbound traffic. I am also behind a router, if that makes a difference. I'll look into the Win firewall situation.

Yes. The forum is running under the Apache webserver on my machine.

Hi,
I am getting the folowing message (with SMTP data being specified):
"Error: Could not connect to smtp host "smtp-server.stny.rr.com" (10053) (An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. )."
My ISP is roadrunner and the smtp data is the same as I use for Outlook. Do you have any ideas what I might check to find out what's blocking the connection? Could it be becasue I had Outlook open at the time?
