Hello

Using ASmallOrange as hosts.

And using these smtp settings

Any help is appreciated.

PopCorn,

I have same problem. Did you fix it?

I was having the same problem with HostGator (by the way, very good hosting service in my opinion!)

Finally I found the _smtp_authenticate() function was not running because of a variable set to FALSE

system/libraries/Email.php file, line 60:    var $_smtp_auth = TRUE;

I really hope this could be helpful to you.

Bye,
DAvide

$_smtp_auth would be set to TRUE automatically if $this->smpt_user and $this->smtp_pass are set.

You just need to initialize the email class in a different way. The documentation does not say this, but instead of:

you need to do:

HTH,
Sorin

You can do it either way, Sorin, the end result will be the same.  Email::initialize() is what the constructor uses when you pass it while loading the library.

Looking at http://wiki.asmallorange.com/Email the username should be in the format .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) - try - .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).... and see if it works.

Edit: Sorry didn’t realise this was such an old thread!

Actually, I think sorinv is right, there is indeed a bug here.

One of our server’s was just (yesterday) upgraded, and one of the patches closed an open relay SMTP issue.

Our codeigniter app could not send email.

Debugging, I found that the constructor of the email library was getting empty strings, instead of the smtp info set by config. Changing to $this->load->library(‘email’, $config); solved the problem.

I don’t really have time to look in detail, but I think the problem is that $_smtp_auth gets set to false when the library is loaded, and initialize doesn’t change that.

EDIT: I can see that v1.7 fixes this, as it explicitly resets $this->_smtp_auth on line 129. So this bug is only for older versions of CodeIgniter.

To help people searching ... This was on a plesk server running qmail. The error was “553 sorry, that domain isn’t in my list of allowed rcpthosts”

Thanks webthink; it’s always important when reporting bugs to be using the most up to date version of CI, or failing that, at least mentioning which version is in use, and I should have asked these users, but I bet that’s the problem.

i’m using last CI version and I send mail using SMTP. I had an issue as well saying I have to check that page :
http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html

I notice my config wasn’t setup. The default one was used.

the solution was to add

right after the call for the initialize function. Since it seems initialize don’t do the job (don’t know why).

And by the way if I put

then it load sendmail (not smtp) so it doesn’t take care of my config at all.

Thanks Spir!. Adding ‘$this->email->set_newline(”\r\n”);’  did the trick.

Spir: I know this is quite a time later but I had the same issue.

I believe that the real cause is using single quotes around the \r\n. Using PHP double quotes evaluate variables and control characters (e.g. \n or \r), whereas single quotes do not.

Where you are setting up the config array you are using single quotes:

It should be double quotes:

hi all
now what is the correct solution

just do:
$config[‘smtp_port’] = 465;
$config[‘newline’] = “\r\n”;

Hello… Today after research so mucho and spend all the day… I’m hosting with justhost, and It’s seem that the hosting make you to write the mail with a valid mail from the domain… check the way to config a client from your mail server and that’s it

my domain is xinerk.net

$config[‘protocol’]=‘smtp’;
$config[‘smtp_host’]=‘mail.xinerk.net’;
$config[‘smtp_port’]=‘26’;
$config[‘smtp_user’]=‘rem…@xinerk.net’;
$config[‘smtp_pass’]=‘L1fq…’;
$config[‘validate’] = ‘false’;
$config[‘wordwrap’] = TRUE;
$config[‘mailtype’]=“html”;
$config[‘charset’]=‘utf-8’;
$config[‘newline’]=”\r\n”;
$config[‘alt_message’]=“Mensaje de SiSP”;
$config[‘crlf’] = “\r\n”;
$config[‘newline’] = “\r\n”;
$config[‘smtp_timeout’]=‘30’;
