I am running cpg1.2.1 on a windows 2k server.

i have a problem with ecards. i can't send them.
I searched the faq and documentation but there is nothing available on configuring ecards (please correct me if i am wrong).
I thought it would be possible to use my smtp.provider.nl (hostname) for ecards.

So i configured the mailer.inc.php with the following settings:

$CONFIG['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.provider.nl';
$CONFIG['smtp_username'] = 'Ernst';
$CONFIG['smtp_password'] = '12345';

but when i try to send an ecard i get the following message:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 503 5.3.3 AUTH not available

I checked the username and password but they are correct (100% sure).

Is it possible to use this smtphost in this way, or do i need to configure more things?

i posted a similar question in another thread, but the thread was started with another question. So i thought it would be better to start my own topic.
Sorry for that!

OK, since you're using win2k server, why don't you use the built-in SMTP instead? You will have to install the smtp server using the win2k CD. and then set it up in the IIS settings. Then you will just have to use "localhost" and no username and password in coppermine.
