HELP - Problems with class.phpmailer

[awilson3rd]

Hello,

 

 

I have no knowledge of PHP and have been looking around for some information for a few days now so thought I would try here - excuse my ignorance:-)

 

I have recently installed a business listing script called easysearchdirectory on a webhost4life hosting account. I have never had any problems with webhost4 life accounts before but basically the new website was working ok for a couple of days and then email stopped. Upon enquiring I was advised that the class.phpmailer was configured to use 'localhost' as the mail account, this was something they didn't like so blocked it. The hosting company advised that the values in the class.phpmailer should be changed to the email account mail.servername.com for example. This was done. Still no email was being sent or receieved so I contacted the script developer who is not much help at the moment. I can upload the class.phpmailer file, original and changed if someone would be kind enough to take a look.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

haha, they dident literally mean change the mail server to mail.servername.com.

 

But considering your hosting is now blocking your mail() requests you'll have to find one that supports it - and frankly if you're dealing with free hosts, you're not going to find one. Or if you do rejoice, cause it's a rare thing indeed.

Doh! I know they didnt literally mean change it to that, it has been changed to the actual mail server address and no, it's not free. It's a paid hosting account. I just need some help configuring the file.

 

Thanks
