[SOLVED] PHPMailer not using smtp information

[severndigital]

I implemented PHPMailer yesterday as a test for a scenario we are dealing with here at my office.

 

I am attempting to send an email from our SMTP mail server which does not reside on the same machine as the one the script is running from.

 

Here is my code.

require('../phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
//require('../phpmailer/class.smtp.php');


    $mail = new PHPMailer();
      $mail->From = "vcadorders@pacesetterglobal.com";
      $mail->FromName = "VCAD Orders";
      $mail->Host = "smtp.server.com"; //changed for post
      $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
      $mail->Username = "uname"; //changed for post
      $mail->Password = "password"; //changed for post
      
      $mail->Subject = "test";
      //$mail->Body = "See attched file for shipment records for test";
      $mail->AddAddress("chris@severndigital.com");
      //$mail->AddAttachment("$emailstring");
      
if(!$mail->Send()){
      echo "There was and error sedning this message";
      echo '<BR>Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
      }else{
      echo "Mail was sent successfully.";
      }

When I run this script it returns the mail sent successfully message.

 

When I receive the mail however the headers indicate that the message was sent from the localhost and not the smtp server. See below

As you can see the return-path is from the localhost and not our smtp server.

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong??

 

Thanks in advance,

Chris

 

[kathas]

$mail->Mailer = "SMTP";

[severndigital]

when I try to use that i get the following error

 

Mailer error: SMTPLanguage string failed to load: mailer_not_supported

[kathas]

i would try that too

 

$mail->IsSMTP(TRUE);

 

but i dont think that anything will change...

 

check php mailers website for more help phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

that didn't so anything .. it just blanked my script. I turned on PHP error reporting and still nothing

 

I've been on the php mailer website for 2 days. I am using the example straight from the main page of the site, and it still doesn't work.

 

**** EDIT ****

 

Your fix did work however the syntax is

 

$mail->IsSMTP();

 

thanks,

Chris
