Joomla SMTP Configuration Issue
- by msargenttrue
I'm having an issue with the SMTP setup of my Joomla website when trying to send mass emails through the CB Mailing (Mass Email) extension. I receive this error:
SMTP Error! The following recipients failed:
Number of users to whom e-mail was sent: 0 (Total in list: 1)
The old version of this websites mass emailer worked fine, however, in order to add Kunena Forum and maintain compatibility I had to make several upgrades to the site. Both the new version and old verson configurations are outlined below.
Server for Website: Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, Apache 1.3.4.1, PHP 5.2.3, MySQL 4.1.22
Server for SMTP: Eudora Internet Mail Server 3.3.9 (EIMS Server X)
New Configuration:
Joomla 1.5.25,
Community Builder 1.7.1,
CB Paid Subscriptions (CB Subs) 1.2.2,
CBMailing 2.3.4,
Kunena Forum 1.7.0,
Legacy 1.0 plug-in disabled
Mail Settings (New Config):
Mailer: SMTP Server
Mail from: [email protected]
From Name: CASPA
Sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Security: None
SMTP Port: 25
SMTP Username: [email protected]
SMTP Password: xxxxxxx
SMTP Host: 209.48.40.194
Old Configuration (Working SMTP Configuration):
Joomla 1.5.9,
Community Builder 1.2,
CB Paid Subscriptions (CB Subs) 1.0.3,
CB Mailing 2.1,
Legacy 1.0 plug-in enabled
Mail Settings (Old Config):
Mailer: SMTP Server
Mail from: [email protected]
From Name: CASPA
Sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Username: [email protected]
SMTP Password: xxxxxxx
SMTP Host: 209.48.40.194
(Notice how the older version of Joomla is missing the 2 fields: SMTP Security and SMTP Port)
Thanks in advance!
