 Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2005 8:52 pm Post subject: Email in phpBB? |
 |
|
| phpBB works fine, but when a user is trying to register a nickname on the forum, he or she gets up an error-message thats says it wasn't possible to send an email. Is there any way to disable email-sending in phpBB? Or is there any way to acturly get this to work? My ISP blocks post 25, so I can't run my own email-server, but I run an emailserver on my other domain (winxtreme.se). It supports POP3. |

Just disable e-mail activation in the config admin panel. Should work. If not then you will have to set up the mail server on your domain properly or use no-ip's SMTP forwarder, use another port other than 25 for no-ip to forward it.

I had the same problem and i know there is a mod somewhere that disables the email sent when registering a new user. I cant remember where it was but try searching the phpBB forums.
hope this helps!!

Could you not just send the email via your ISP's SMTP server?

I tried to use my ISPs SMTP-server, but I still get the same message.
Anyway, time to UTFG. |

Okay, I found the problem. I simply modified emailer.php.
If you have the same problem as me, simply copy and paste the text into your emailer.php-file:
http://cmx.winxtreme.se/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3#3
Edit: This wont disable the emailsending, just remove the errormessage. Use it at your own risk, and don't blame me if your forum screws up. |
