I successfully installed version 10.3, however I still cannot sent emails. I have verified the password and username with in my own application, and if it works there, it should be working for the forum as well.

The strange thing is that without the username and password I can send a test message. Other than that it does not work at all.

Any suggestions as to why? I checked the error out via google and bing and the error indicates it cannot communicate with the server. Again, it can send a test email without the credentials inputted.

Lastly, for some reason one of my forums is not showing. I looked through the tables and compared it to functioning forums and can't determine why this one is not showing. My installation is a upgrade.

Thanks

It sounds like your web host has configured their mail servers to send emails to local mailboxes without authentication but require authentication for relay to remote mailboxes.

The only way to know would be for you to contact your web host and ask them what the correct settings are.

As to your question about a forum not showing, check and reset the permissions for that forum, which will hopefully fix the issue. Also make sure that the forums are correctly ordered with different order numbers.
