Configure Email Settings For Dotproject

[YoLoL]

 

I have tried with the following

 

Email Settings

Email Transport SMTP

SMTP Host mail.my_domain_name

SMTP Port 25

Host requires login checked

SMTP Username mail_user@my_domain_name

SMTP Password password for mail_user

Queue Email for later sending checked

SMTP Server Timeout 30

 

Also I have change the setting Email transport to "PHP default" and the setting SMTP user name with "mail_user+my_domain_name"

 

So far no luck, I have checked the spam filters on the target email addresses and no mail

 

Can somebody give a hand, I haven't found anything on TCH forums or dotProject's

Hi YoLoL, welcome to the forums

 

You should be able to use the "PHP default" which is sendmail or the SMTP setting you have look correct.

 

What's your domain name ? I'll have a quick look ( you can PM me if you prefer not to post it here)

Welcome to the forum, YoLoL.

yolol.net but I'm setting this up for the subdomain darkcastle.yolol.net, thanks

Welcome to the forum, YoLoL

 

Have no knowledge of that but what you have should be working. Try port 26 for SMTP and see if it makes a difference.

I had a look at the server end, and could only see one attempt which tried to connect and failed - "Authentication failed on server", so you need to check that the authentication is set (you said above it was, so that should be fine).

 

Looking at the dotproject documentation it looks like both methods should work. Either;

 

the PHP Default

 

Or

 

SMTP

Host: yolol.net

SMTP Port 25

Host requires login checked

SMTP Username mail_user@my_domain_name

SMTP Password password for mail_user

Queue Email for later sending checked

SMTP Server Timeout 30

 

 

which is what I think you have.

Where can I see the mail log?

[TCH-Andy]

You can't see the mail log specifically, but you can see the error log page for your account in cpanel.

[YoLoL]

Good, I'm checking the log I have two different kind of errors:

Authentication failed on server: 503 AUTH command used when not advertised\r\n

 

Error on connecting to host mail.yolol.net at port 25: Connection refused (111)

The first one appears when the option "Host requires login" is checked, the second one when is not.

I have already double check password and is correctly written (What I did is to copy/paste into the login for webmail in CPanel)

Any ideas?

[YoLoL]

Ok, I nailed this one. Here's what I did

 

I kept all the setting as above except for the following:

• Set mail to PHP default
  
• Queue Email for later sending
  
• Scan Event Queue on Session Garbage Collection
  

The following URL was also helpful

Thanks for your help guys. Now the next one; set the cron job to execute the queuescanner.php automatically

[TCH-Bruce]

Glad you got it sorted out and thank you for the update.

Welcome to the forum, YoLoL

[TCH-Andy]

You need to set the cron job up in cpanel with the timing you require and;

 

php -q /home/your-username/public_html/your-directory/queuescanner.php

[TCH-Bruce]

I can't believe I missed that question.

Thanks! Great!!
