Topic: Can't send email

[ederwainer]

Hello everybody,

I have installed Webim on a server that runs websites only, no local email server.

I have read other posts with similar problem and I have appplied    $body = preg_replace("/\n/","\r\n", $body); to the file common.asp, as suggested by another forum member, but still, when I try to send an offline message as a visitor, I get the following error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\verapagani.com.br\httpdocs\webim\libs\common.php on line 498

Seems like I need to authenticate an smtp server thats outside of the current server where webim is.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Im on a windows server running Plesk 8.3

Thanks

Just use PHP mail. it's simplier, and less complicated

[ederwainer]

Is it an option on Webim? If so, how can I enable it?

Any server side configuration necessary.

If you could as kind as to give me some instructions, I would really appreciate it.


Thanks

Hmm scratch that... i think it's default PHP mail settings... Inspirer knows...  But my hints would be, make sure PHP Mail is turned on in your PHP.ini file. If that isn't, enable it, then restart.  IF that doesn't work, download the attachment. see if it works with a little thingy i did.

I agreee with you! PHP Mail is the best choice sometime! Try this one!
