Setting up SMTP Problem | Forum

Derek

Hi all,


I can't seem to setup mass email correctly. 


Here are the settings I've tried: 


Host: www.mysite.com (also tried pop.secureserver.net and smtpout.secureserver.net)


Username: email address


Password : email password


Connection : SSL (This is what MS Outlook is using and it works) 


For the cron job, I only added one line as per an instruction video I found online. 


1/usr/local/bin/php /html/ow_cron/run.php


Is this correct? 


Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Godaddy is my provider. 


Thanks,


D

Derek check following topic on Godaddy's forum: http://support.godaddy.com/.../smtp-not-working-1/

1. Check with Godaddy whether you are using correct SMTP settings.
2. Try sending out mail through the Workspace Webmail interface.

If this doesn't help, let me know more details. Are you getting any errors?

Thank you Aliia. I would like to test it first with my gmail account. For the host do I use pop.....? Also, what type of connection do I use?

Derek, use following instructions to set your gmail  account http://support.google.com/...=en&answer=13287 . You will need to use smtp.gmail.com. You can select any type of connections ( whichever you want, either SSL or TLS/STARTTLS).

Hi Aliia,


We needed a more comprehensive package so decided to go with PHPFox. I appreciate you getting back to me though. Good luck with the project!
