Hi, I just set up a Red Hat Linux 9 box up with everything installed. I've set up a phpBB but I'm having a problem setting up SMTP. I am only able to use SMTP by fowarding it to smtp.west.cox.net, othwerise the mail will never get through cox's network.

I have setup the options on the board with the appropreit settings, but everything I try to get it to send an e-mail, I get this:
Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 502 Command is locally disabled

DEBUG MODE

Line : 127
File : /var/www/html/forum/includes/smtp.php


Any idea's how I can enable SMTP?

I've read most of the topic... But heres my details and problems

Hosting company: cyberdevX.com
server operating system: Linux
PHP version: 4.3.2
email server application: (e.g. sendmail, qmail, postfix, etc.) - I dunno what this is

Problems:

I try to send a Mass email and only I recieve the email...
THis doesn't work with mass group emails either

I also get this error when people are meant to get reply notifications or PM notifications:
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:

pls pls pls may one of you great coders try to fix the lycos errors. They're the only free host (that i know of) that will host phpbb2 forums, but whenever anyone registers, emails or pms from the forum, they get error messages about mailer.php. and lets face it, users will be a bit put off if the first thing they get after registering is an error message and then they might PM admin to tell them about it, but then they get another message. this also makes phpbb2 not look very good, so pls pls pls fix it!!!

It's a good reason to update your board for fixing the email problems ;)
Well done for the 2.0.6 ;)
