I set up the HEAD version of the SMTP module.
Initially I planned to use it with the gmail smtp server but unfortunately that uses SSL/TLS and I'm too lazy to get into setting up OpenSSL or a mail server as both seem really messy.

The problem I'm having is I initially typed in all the gmail information and found it didn't work and would never work. I found an online service (www.bluebottle.com) which has pop3 and smtp and the smtp requires authentication but nothing additional. I made an account at bluebottle and changed the settings in the SMTP config. I saved the settings, the new settings stay in the form fields no problem there. However, when I send the test e-mail it's still using the previous e-mail address and I'm assuming server. Error is below:

Error sending email: The following From address failed: sheffield.uncensored@gmail.com From: sheffield.uncensored@gmail.com To: kristinahall.83@gmail.com

Any thoughts?
Where does the information for the module save?

have you tried truncuating the cache table in the database ?

No, but I'll check it out.

*grins* Now if a dumb newbie like myself can figure out how to do that.

--

truncate table tablename;

Unfortunately that made no difference. It did the same thing as far as attempt to send it from gmail instead of bluebottle.

I went ahead and did a clean install all over again with drupal 5.0, was having problems with SMTP module and found out I needed SSL for what I wanted to do... So I went the lazy route downloaded Xampp and did it that way.

Now.

When I submit the configuration for the SMTP module it holds the information it seems. However when I ask for a test e-mail and press submit the page loads up blank. I then refresh and it just says "configuration saved" and nothing about a test e-mail.

I'm thinking the SMTP module is having issues holding the information for the servers or something.

The blank page has no source to it at all. Its completely empty.

Any thoughts?

check apache logs for errors.

does the blank page come up immeditaly ? or does it take a bit of time first ?

if it takes a bit of time you may have to increase your some settings in php (php.ini or .htaccess) to increase the time of php time outs.

it may benefit to post your problem in the SMTP.modules issue querry on the project page to insure its looked at by the developer or maintainer. Have you checked the issue querry to see if there are already known problems ? with specific set ups ?

I've been trying to figure out how to post in the SMTP modules issue query... :) How do I do that. XD

Never tried the SMTP module. From what I can see, there is no Drupal 5 release yet, so it may be just broken.

The module creates no tables, so apparently it saves everything in the 'variable' table in the database.

Taking a look at the source, it does use some new variables such as "smtp_on", "smtp_host", "smtp_hostbackup", "smtp_port", "smtp_username", "smtp_password", "smtp_fromname", "smtp_test_address", "sendmail_from", "site_mail" (the last one is from core, but no other). I bet the stubborn settings are somewhere in there.

Oye.

It comes up when I look for mail modules for 5.x

I'll check the table but if version 5.x isn't out that is most likely why there is a problem.

BTW is there a way to check to see if my ISP blocks running mail servers?

I configured successful for sending email as below:
_ SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
_ SMTP port: 465
_ Use encrypted protocol: Use SSL
_ Username, Password (your gmail account)

And it sent correctly, that's all. Hopes this helps.

anyone knows what the problem could be?
