HELP!!!Sending Mail With Standard PHP Mail via external SMTP Server

[dklbwf]

Hello PHP Family,

 

I am having some serious issues that i cannot figure out, i am using a script which i purchased and my site is supposed to send confirmation links once members register.  The script uses the basic php mail function but is not sending nothing out after members signup, not sure if maybe i need to put in smtp settins somewhere in the php file or whats going on.  I edited the file a little bit and i am getting error message:

 

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 513 5.0.0 Your email system must authenticate before sending mail. in D:\www\eazygirls4u\mail.php on line 24

 

Attached is mail file i am working with, also i am using authsmtp as my external smtp server.

 

Thanks N Advance for any help!!!

 

<?
$ntm3k_ncd_directive=$do_not_change;
send_html("[email protected]","[email protected]","test","test text","<h1>test html</h1>");
function send_html($from, $to, $subject, $text, $html)
{
global $debug;
if ($debug) echo "<HR>DEBUG|From:$from|To:$to|Subject:$subject<HR>$text<HR>$html<HR>";
$headers = "From: $from\r";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from\r";

PHP's standard mail function does not support authentication against a remote mail server. You will need to use a third party library like PHPMailer (Google it).

[teamatomic]

You are using a SMTP server that requires authentication. Somewhere, either in a config file or somewhere in the script you need to have defined a username/emailAddress and a password. If the authentication method method uses SSL you will also need to load the extension php_openssl.dll in php.ini

 

If the script you are using does not do authentication you can use this free one:

use the regular PHPMmailer
