SMTP

I’m having trouble making the SMTP connection work properly. I’m using MODx .9.5 on Windows Server. I know that the SMTP can work on this server because I have another PHP software program, Mantis, working just fine using SMTP on the same server.

Specifically, when I try to update a password for a web user, and when I set it to send the password via email, I get this error message:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given. in C:\wamp\www\manager\processors\save_web_user.processor.php on line 430

And the password update fails.

I looked in manager/includes/class.phpmailer and set the variables as I thought they should be set, but still no luck. Here’s how I have the variables set (with "fakedomain.com" substituted for my real smtp domain):

var $Priority = 3;
var $CharSet = "iso-8859-1";
var $ContentType = "text/plain";
var $Encoding = "8bit";
var $ErrorInfo = "";
var $From = "[email protected]";
var $FromName = "My name";
var $Sender = "[email protected]";
var $Body = "";
var $AltBody = "";
var $WordWrap = 0;
var $Mailer = "smtp";
//var $Sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; //commented out
var $PluginDir = "";
var $Version = "1.73";
var $ConfirmReadingTo = "";
var $Hostname = "fakedomain.com";
var $Host = "smtp.fakedomain.com";
var $Port = 25;
var $Helo = "fakedomain.com";
var $SMTPAuth = true;
var $Username = "fakeusername";
ar $Password = "fakepassword";
var $Timeout = 10;
var $SMTPDebug = true;
var $SMTPKeepAlive = false;
var $smtp = NULL;
var $to = array();
var $cc = array();
var $bcc = array();
var $ReplyTo = array();
var $attachment = array();
var $CustomHeader = array();
var $message_type = "";
var $boundary = array();
var $language = array();
var $error_count = 0;
var $LE = "\n";

I posted the above question a few days ago, but so far no response. Any help with SMTP on Windows would be much appreciated.

Moving to the appropriate forum ... likely get a prompt response there!

Same problem here

Altough, not IIS. WAMP

Hmm thats a strange one for me it all just worked out the box

Windows 2003
IIS6
Smartermail Mail server listening on localhost

You say that normal phpmail function works? do you have an example of some existing code which can send mail outside of modx.

Not sure if this is it but perhaps worth a shot

in the code quote above

var $SMTPAuth = true;
var $Username = "fakeusername";
ar $Password = "fakepassword";

the last line is missing the v?

var $Password = "fakepassword";

You might be right about the "v" missing. I posted that message a long time ago, and have since upgraded to newer versions of MODx and have moved to a Linux server, where these problems are not an issue. I can’t verify whether or not the original problem has been solved.
