I need to setup eform to use SMTP, but to do that seems a bit complex, wouldn't it be easier for eform.inc.php to simply read the phpmailer for settings? If so how could we do that simply?

[sottwell]

Actually making eForm do SMTP is quite easy. There are three places in the eform.inc.php file where the phpmailer class is configured. Just replace the $mail->IsMail(); lines with $mail->isSMTP(); and add a line:

Code:

$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.maildomain.com';

[tspore]

I cannot get eform to work -
I replaced the values with -
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.mydomain.net';
$mail->User = 'form@mydomain.net';
$mail->Password = 'mypassword;

But it won't send.

I replaced in the 4 places the line -  $mail->IsMail();
if ($mobile && $mobiletext) {
               $mobiletext = formMerge($mobiletext,$fields);
               $mail = new PHPMailer();
               $mail->IsMail();
               $mail->CharSet = $modx->config['modx_charset'];
               $mail->IsHTML($isHtml);
               $mail->From      = $from;
               $mail->FromName   = $fromname;
               $mail->Subject   = $subject;
               $mail->Body      = $mobiletext;
               AddAddressToMailer($mail,"to",$mobile);
               $mail->send();

What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure you need the username/password? So far in every site I've made this change for, all that was needed was the server name. Since the mail was coming from the same server, it didn't want the username/password.

Yea I tried it. I only allow authentication to my mail server. I did try it but no luck.
So anyone have any other thoughts?

[sottwell]

no, sorry, I've never had it not work like that. Your mail logs should have something, though, as long as you're sure you've got the mail server's name correct and it's actually trying to connect.

Just keep getting no authentication -
 8 20:45:00[0] Rejected 127.0.0.1 FROM:<root@mydomain.com> <undefined> 0 g_smpt_noauth "ÿÿÿÿ"

So I have built a server that can't send mail without authentication, but now I can't send mail from eform. Any good ideas... Anyone?
