Need to change sending SMTP server

Hi there, I have to upgrade a number of old Universal Email Contact forms to use a new SMTP server. However, I cannot see how to enter in the authentication information.

I am switching a number of old contact forms over to using the Mandrill service provided by MailChimp. I can see in Universal email how to change the host and port, but I cannot see how to add SMTP username and SMTP password? Any ideas on how to do this or how to even do it manually in the files?

Thanks in advance!
Martin

Standard php mail doesn't support that. You will have to switch your mail object in universal email to PEAR mail, which does allow authenticated emails.

Thanks Ray. I see how to change the email object to pear. I have entered in the information that it requires and uploaded the changed files. Now when it submits it goes to a blank page.

I can see on the Mandrill site that the form has not successfully submitted.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

p.s. I saw a field called path to pear. Is this something that needs to be filled out? I am using a GoDaddy server for this site.

Usually the default path is correct. Did you upload the Pear include file that was added to your page?

Add this to the top:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
?>

Hi Ray,

Yes, I have made doubly sure that the files are indeed uploaded. The pear file and the mail file. Here is the error I am getting.

Warning: require_once(Mail.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/creativepixel1/public_html/cascadeglass.ca/webassist/email/PEAR_Mail_using_SMTP_php.php on line 113

Have you checked with your hosting provider to make sure PEAR is installed on the server? That error implies it may not be.
