SMTP Wrapper Support - class.smtp.inc not available any longer

I found the file and installed and tested it, using Civicspace 0.8.1.2.

File is attached.

And here are some detailed instructions... this solution should
enable you to also modify the smtp.inc to specify a username
and login for your external SMTP server!

THE FIX:

I noticed we were getting errors from our installation of
Civicspace on Dreamhost. The problem was that some
recipients were not receiving mail from us as a result of spam
filtering.

The fix for this was to modify Drupal settings, by installing
some custom SMTP code and then changing the settings for
our mail server, so that Drupal would use mail.ourserver.org
(instead of the default, which turned out to be 'localhost'
(or tetris.dreamhost.org).

1) download the following 2 files and place in Includes:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/drupal/contributions/tricks/smt...
http://www.lemure.net/~chuck/openbsd_help/class.smtp.inc

2) Edit smtp.inc so that the default smtp server address is no longer used:

before: $params['host'] = ini_get('SMTP');
after: $params['host'] = "mail.ourserver.org";

3) make Drupal use this mail sending wrapper by adding the following line at the end
of conf.php, before the last ?> tag:

$conf["smtp_library"] = "includes/smtp.inc";

Hope this helps.

fyi, the two lines in smtp.inc that you want to modify, in order to set up smtp authentication, look like this:

// Username for authentication
//$params['user'] = 'testuser';
// Password for authentication
//$params['pass'] = 'testuser';

Closed..

What is recommended for the latest versions of PHP and Drupal?

Closing very old issues on this project.
