Vtiger 4.2
FC5
PHP5
Mysql5
FireFox 1.5


on Configuring my Outgoing Mail Server details. I keep on getting this error:
Test Mail status : Please Check the Mail Server Name...

My log file shows the ff :

06/15/06 12:11:40,087 [5764] INFO VT - Message ->Inside of Send Mail function.
06/15/06 12:11:42,333 [5764] DEBUG VT - Message ->Error in Mail Sending : Error log = 'Language string failed to load: connect_host'


I have another copy running of vtiger4.2 on another machine. I runs perfectly and sends emails fine.

I have tried all suggested work-arounds:

changed the server name to ip even localhost.
ping the server name and ip(OK),
hard corded the servername/ ip, username,password, in config.php.

# I have installed the mambo and dotproject and both can send email without a problem. I think mambo and dotproject uses sendmail and vtiger uses SMTP?

What should I do to allow mail to be send via SMTP?

[bheki]

have solved the problem by :
changing a line on class.phpmailer.php
ton this function
function IsSMTP() {
function IsSMTP() {
$this->Mailer = "smtp";
}


I changed the line $this->Mailer = "smtp"; to
$this->Mailer = "mail";

Greeting...thanks for your post.
I am having the same problem

I am using vtigercrm v4.2.4 patch2

I see the same message "Please Check the Mail Server Name... " in red. Same problem for 'Bulk Mail' as well

Question:
1) Does it mean that to allow email sent by SMTP server, i must change the 'class.phpmailer.php' located in 'C:\Program Files\vtigerCRM4.2.4rc2\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM\modules\Emails' as well as 'C:\Program Files\vtigerCRM4.2.4rc2\apache\htdocs\vtigerCRM\cron' ???

2) IS it true that in order to let vtigercrm send email by SMTP, i have to change the

function IsSMTP() {
$this->Mailer = "smtp";

to

function IsSMTP() {
$this->Mailer = "mail";

?? Please help, thanks everyone
