    Posted: 15 March 2006 at 7:40pm
I posted this thread back for version 7.95:
http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=17023&KW=smtp+authentication&PID=92700#92700

I referred back to the instrucitons so I could set up SMTP authentication for 7.97, which I just upgraded to, but I do not even see the lines:

"If you use SMTP authentivation enter the username and password in the following variables
strMailServerUser = ""     'SMTP server username
strMailServerPass = ""    'SMTP server password"

Have these been moved somewhere else?  I need to reset this info so my notifications will start working in 7.97.

Thanks in advance for the help Smile

There is an error in 7.97 so that the file 'functions/functions_send_email.asp' supports this, but not the one found in the admin folder.

This will mean that all email functions work with SMTP authentication appart from the Mass Email tool in the admin area.

So, are you saying, if I need to use an SMTP server that requires authentication, I cannot, or is there a separate file I need to enter this information in now?

Let me know.  This is the only SMTP server option I currently have for my network.

Thanks.

You can, please read my last post again to save me repeating myself.

Ok, not trying to be difficult but I do not see the lines anymore in the 'functions/functions_send_email.asp' file where I can even put in my SMTP server info, since I upgraded to 7.97.  This is what I am trying to clear up.

I'm just trying to figure out if these settings reside somewhere else andwhere I actually configure the lines:

"If you use SMTP authentication enter the username and password in the following variables
strMailServerUser = ""     'SMTP server username
strMailServerPass = ""    'SMTP server password"

Is there no such place to configure SMTP servers that require authentication anymore?

Thnaks again.

At lines 65 to 67 of the file 'functions/functions_send_mail.asp' you have the following place to type in your SMTP authentication details:-

'If you use SMTP authentication enter the username and password in the following variables
    strMailServerUser = ""     'SMTP server username
    strMailServerPass = ""    'SMTP server password

I have just downloaded and checked the latest 7.97 version and it does have this in the file.

Maybe try re-downloading 7.97 in case you have some files mixed up somewhere along the way.

Thanks!  I recopied that file from the original download to my server install.  I found the lines and have now configured them.

Thank you again :)
