ECARD PROBLEMS PART II

(1/2) > >>

Coppermine_secure:
I have been using coppermine products for some time now, and recently set up a new photo site with the latest version 1.5.8, and everything is working okay except that I cannot get the ecards to be sent. I have tried leaving the email settings blank, but no response.
I tried using SMTP settings for my personal verizon account emails, my gmail emails accounts, and my email accounts set up on the server I am hosting the website (coppermine) on, and get errors every time. I am using the correct server smtp addresses, user names, and passwords in each case.  The permissions are set correctly.  How do I determine if my hosting company is restricting the sending of emails from coppermine?

The last error I report is:

Error
Sorry but the server can't send your e-card...

File: /home/comcomco/public_html/domain.com/ecard.php - Line: 248

    * CPG Notice line 1695: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.




I have read and understand the previous posts, and have been able to send ecards with earlier versions of Coppermine on my other sites in the past.  When I try to send an ecard from another site using version 1.3, I do not get an error message, and the program reports an ecard was sent, but I do not receive an ecard sent to my email, which makes me suspect that webhostingbuzz.com does  not allow for the sending of emails from their servers through coppermine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does other email stuff work (registration, report to admin, contact form)?

Coppermine_secure:
No none of these is successful in sending emails.

You cannot use external SMTP servers, so you have only 2 possibilities I think:
1. use sendmail (= leave all SMTP settings blank)
2. use the local SMTP server, if any


What exactly happens if you use sendmail? A link to your gallery might help.

Please post them.

Coppermine_secure:
Webhostingbuzz.com restricts sendmail.
So, I took your advice and am using a local SMTP and I am successful in sending the ecard. 

The ecard gets sent,
but without the picture image...  I get an emailed ecard that is blank, and displays the alternative link instead of the image.
