Code: [Select]
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 184 Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mail.pagenpain.com:25 in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 184 Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 185 Email Error: Invalid mail server response (service not ready?):
If you're trying to use SMTP for emails, don't. Just use the PHP builtin mail function. It works sooooo much better.

Post by: Chris on May 17, 2003, 11:56:37 PM: Simply because it works.

Too often people can't get SMTP mail sending to work so it's just far easier to set 4images up to use the PHP builtin mail function. That's why it's so much better (to me at least :wink: )
