URL to your eFiction:of eFiction: 3.5.1Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: NoVersion of PHP: can be found out from your host - PHP version 5.2.5Version of MySQL: can be found out from your host - MySQL version 4 Have you searched for your problem: yesIf so, what terms did you try: email problem smtp gmailState the nature of your problem: test account you can use:nick:testpass. josty - First of all I turned my debug mode on ant it doens't shows any info.Anyway, my problem is that I can't use the email setting in general: contact, acceptance letter, etc- On Adm ->Site Info I used the email account yourname@gmail.com, with email settings blank.my php info was:sendmail_from php@mail1.awardspace.com sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t When I tried to use contact and all the other things it just said there was an error and to contact the admn. (again, the debug it's no working so I can't have more details)I explained the problem to my host (I have a paid plan)just saying the form used on my site software ans using gmail was not working, he did answer me:Please make sure that your php mail script includes a valid 'from' header, which would be an existing email address, part of your hosting account with us. You will need it for SMTP authentication, since otherwise the sendmail script will fail.Maybe I didn't get it right but first I changed php sendmail_from to yourname@gmail.com. the same error again.Then I changed emai settings to SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.comSMTP Username: yourname@gmail.comSMTP Password: your_Gmail password ,it didn't worked either.Then I tried to leave sendmail_from no value, but nothing (it started to get funny here)After reading the host answer again I created and email like yourname@mydomain.com, and used it on email settings likeSMTP Host: php@mail1.awardspace.com (I'm not sure if this the right one)SMTP Username: name@mydomain.comSMTP Password: password ,it didn't worked either.and finally, I don't know more what to do,someone knows what to do or if I just didn't get the answer from the host? Pretty Please?The characters within that sub category also do not appear, only the ones that are sitewide.Do you have a test account for us?
