Mail Error under Windows 2000

[Digi-God]

This is very very very weird ... any ideas on how to fix it would be much appreciated!

Thanks

When trying to send a mail - as user or as admin, or using the sendtofriend thing - all mail functions, I get the following error:

Warning: Server Error in C:\www\vitaya\htdocs\forum\member.php on line 813

Line 813 of the script in question seems pretty much right, so .....

My mail server is also set up properly in php.ini (or do I have to stick the port :25 at the end)?

Let me know - thanks!

/* EDIT: Using the testmail script works ... just the forums that don't :( */

ditto

Same situation as Digi-God...

- thinking of installing Win2k SMTP server... but, is it possible to forward SMTP to another server by editing the PHP.ini lines:

[mail function]
SMTP = localhost (change to SMTP server) ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [email protected] ;for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')


Thanks in advance for any help!

I set the mail server to the mailserver IP address instead of 'localhost', and the mailtest thing works fine (in the extra folder).

I managed to get the mailing to work, by editing that line in member.php to remove the "user" <e-mail>" construct to just say
'email'

looks like this now:

mail("$destuserinfo[email]",$subject,$sendmessage,"From: \"$username\" <$useremail>");

that change didn&#039;t work for me

I am still receiving the error "Server Error in ...member.php3 on line 813" when attempting to send e-mail.

I changed the line from:

mail("\"$destuserinfo[username]\" <$destuserinfo[email]>",$subject,$sendmessage,"From: \"$username\" <$useremail>");

to:

mail("$destuserinfo[email]",$subject,$sendmessage,"From: \"$username\" <$useremail>");

But still receive the same error.

Any other advice/suggestions (maybe I am missing something??)

Thanks in advance!

SQL Right?

Make sure that the SQL query right above says something to this effect:

[code]$destuserinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username,email FROM user WHERE userid=$destuserid");[/code]

What server are you running this on?

My way worked fine on a Windows 2000 Server using Internet Information Services WWW Service and Internet Information Services SMTP Service ...

Good luck!

hello

did you ever find out what the fix was for this? i am having the same problem, but whats even stranger is i can't blame win2k, and i can't blame vbulletin. the reason i say this is because when testing an installation at another location, i got it to work fine. When duplicating this at the location where the forum will reside, no email's can be sent. there is something i am forgetting to configure, but i don't know what it is. please, if you have figured it out, let me know. and it's NOT a change in code, because like i said, it worked fine at a test location. Oh, and the mailtest.php or testmail.php works beautifully, so the smtp setup in php is fine...
