php stmp

[jeero2000]

Hi,

I have a new site fibrefoods.ie and i cant get the php contact info page working. I'm hosted with blacknight and have a eircom.net email address. Can you help me with a walk through please? i need the following info:

* Use SMTP to send PHP mail (checkbox) - Check this check box if you will use SMTP to send mail.

Note: Normally these settings should be given to you by your host provider.
* Host (edit box) - Type here the hostname of the smtp server.
* Port (edit box) - Type here the port the smtp server runs on.
* Hello (edit box) - Type here some text to be sent as the HELO command (typically the hostname of the machine this script runs on).
* Authentication (checkbox) - Check this box if you will use basic authentication.
* Username (edit box) - If Authentication is checked, type username for authentication.
* Password (edit box) - If Authentication is checked, type password for authentication.

Do I need pop mail? i very new to all this and used ezgenerator to build it.


Thanks for the help.

Hi there,

You can set the script to use SMTP to send the emails.

The SMTP server is simply - localhost
The port is the standard SMTP port - 25
For the HELO check, the server's name is rivalin.blacknight.ie
You do not need authentication if using localhost as the server.

If you have any further queries or if the above does not work for you you can raise a ticket on our support desk for further help

Normally you would specify where the form input is sent either on the form itself or in the script you are using to process the form...
