PHP mailer

[JamesThePanda]

Hi guys

I have this problem I made a script a simple form to email script. Instead of using the mail function I used PHPmailer to connect via SMTP and it was working great on my server.

I have tried it out on a friends server and it come up with 'cannot connect to SMTP host '.

I find this realy odd as even tho we use different hosting comanies the set up is very similar, and both scripts are configured exactly the same. I tried useing an email address on his server and my server I have done several things but nothing has worked, I tried using port 25 and 26.

Can anyone shed any light on this

 

thanks

Have you tried using his email address, with his mail server in the script as the smtp host, and the script would also need to run from the same domain as his mail server or you may run into mail relay issues. Hope that helps.

yes we tried that , still same problem

Its hard to offer much help without knowing any details the only other thing i could suggest is setting the host to localhost with his email if you havent tried that already, similar hosting is not always similar hosting setup regarding server configuration

hmmm yes we tried that as well

 

thanks for youe help anyways
