sending mails with authentication

[eluser]stoefln[/eluser]
i tried to send emails with authentication (configured libraries/Email.php: $smtp_host,$smtp_user,$smtp_pass,$_smtp_auth) but then this error occured:

Message: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.0 Need to authenticate via SMTP-AUTH-Login {mp038}
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1428

anyone has an idea what i could do to solve this problem?

i am using the freakauth library. forgotten password emails are sent in the file Freakauth_light.php

Code:

function _sendEmail($email, $subject, $message)
{
    $tobj =& get_instance();
    $tobj->load->library('email');
    $tobj->email->clear();
    $tobj->email->from($this->CI->config->item('FAL_user_support'), $this->CI->config->item('FAL_website_name').' '.$this->CI->config->item('FAL_email_from'));
    $tobj->email->to($email);
    $tobj->email->subject($subject);
    $tobj->email->message($message);
    $tobj->email->send();
}

i did the configuration directly in the Email.php library of CI:

Code:

class CI_Email {

    var    $useragent        = "CodeIgniter";
    var    $mailpath        = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";    // Sendmail path
    var    $protocol        = "mail";    // mail/sendmail/smtp
    var    $smtp_host        = "mail.gmx.net";        // SMTP Server.
    var    $smtp_user        = "[email protected]";
.....

ok, well you cut off the code with the password. did you actually submit a password?

i configured the password just the way i did it with the username.

ok, why don't you post the whole thing? it doesn't help anyone figure out if you are doing something wrong if you cut stuff off.

BTW, the CI email lib supports SMTP AUTH but not using SSL.

Are you altering CI's libraries to accomplish this?

I don't want to backtrack all the way through the library to see if it would work in that manner - why not just setup the configuration and initialize the class like the documentation says to?

yeah, i think you are right. the problem is that i didnt want to modify the freakauth-lib either. will give it a try...

[eluser]sophistry[/eluser]
i noticed this:

Code:

var $smtp_user = “[email protected]”; // SMTP Username
var $smtp_pass = “test”; // SMTP Password

i've usually seen SMTP passwords use just the mailbox part of the email address - so you might try to use test instead of [email protected]

btw, please post results of your further testing so all may benefit.
