SMTP authentication

I always had the same problem with "Universal Email". Only you use "Mail" and "PEAR mail". My clients tend to have shared hosting, so I can not install "PEAR mail". Your mail is protected with SMTP authentication, username and password.
The only solution I have is using components from other companies such as: Dmxzone "Smart Mailer PHP" or Hotdreamweaver "Form to Mail", I may use autentificaión SMTP, username and password without PEAR mail. But hard use with your extensions as eCart. Spends more time than necessary to create a simple send form by mail.

Do you plan to add a solution as do the two extensions that I mentioned in the next future?

That is not typical even for shared hosting. Where do you host?

My country is Spain. Europe. All the servers I've tried have not installed Pear mail. In any case I asked if they could install or install and always has denied. So use these two components because they do not need to utentificación Pear mail via SMTP.

Take the example of changing code manually from "Form to mail" Hotdreamweaver:

How can I configure Form2Mail with a different email server and with SMTP authentication?

If you want to use an external mail server, you can do the following:

STEP 1 - Go to Line # 568 and configure the primary Form2Mail.php file to send via SMTP:

var $ Mailer = "mail";

... change by:

var $ Mailer = "smtp";

Note: This first step is required only in a few servers, in most cases Form2Mail automatically detects that the available method is SMTP.

STEP 2 - Go to Line # 38 and put there if your SMTP server address is different than "localhost"

define ( 'smtp_server', 'localhost');


Note: Steps 3 and 4 are required only if your server requires authentication. If authentication is not required, please ignore these steps:

STEP 3 - Go to Line # 42 to activate authentication:

define ( 'USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', false);

... change by:

define ( 'USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', true);

STEP 4 - On the lines # 43 and # 44 put your username and password.

In the case of DMXzone component is already prepared to use the wizard (Attach image)

Every example I can find on the web for sending emails from a server that requires username and password uses PEAR. I'm not familiar with the technique the component you referenced uses, but if you want to send me a completed page that works for you built with their tool I can analyze what it does diffferently and see if there is a way to incorporate that into universal email.

Searching the Forums, I've finally seen that adding in the "mailformatting_php.php" on line 161 domain endings "es" and "ca", it works.

Attach compressed files of one of the extensions that I use.

Thanks for everything.

What did line 161 look like before you added it? after?

This is what mine looks like now:

$knownDomsPat = "/^(com|net|org|edu|int|mil|gov|arpa|biz|aero|name|coop|info|pro|museum|\w{2,2})$/i";

At the end it already has: "\w{2,2}"

That should cover all two letter domains, including "es", "ca" or any other.... it doesn't make sense that that was the problem unless your line looked different than mine in the first place.... maybe something else you did fixed it?

I have not changed anything, not working, I thought so, but was proof that you have attached and was not "ca" was "cat"

OK, so now I'm a bit confused.

So you have it working now, but you had to add: "cat" to the list on that line?

Is that correct? Who uses .cat email domains?

Sorry to confuse you.

Yes domains I use .cat email domains

It does not work. Had been tested with the component that does work and I sent in an attachment above. Does not work with yours.

I had confused with the test, your component will not work for me.

Do you have skype contact information I can use to get in touch with you? I would like to debug this with you while screen sharing if possible in order to track down the problem.
