(-1219412052) What do I have to do? Also, can someone help me understand what this part of the plugin description means: <pre><code>My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function If other plugins you're using are not coded to use the wpmail() function but instead call PHP's mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the mail( calls with wp_mail( (just adding wp in front) and this will work. I've tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.</code></pre> EDIT: Wordpress seems to be sending activation emails to everyone, except people with Yahoo email addresses... Is this normal? It doesn't even show up in the Spam box. The only other mail I've tried it with is AOL email, and activation emails are being sent instantly. (This is also without using the plugin mentioned above, i kept getting errors, so I disabled it, and the email seems to work fine with everything other than Yahoo) EDIT2: Also, I just tried it with Windows Live email and it worked. It sent it to spam, but it still worked. It seems to be functioning fine with gmail as well, as I am using a gmail address and I am receiving the new user request emails. I don't see what the problem is with Yahoo email... What could be causing this?

I'm wondering whether it has to do with the host on which I'm running WordPress. From my home machine, I can successfully connect using telnet smtp.gmail.com 465 When I try the same from my account on the WordPress host (at bluehost.com), it either times out or is refused for ports 25, 465, and 587. But the tech support people don't think it's their problem. Any ideas? I did make sure, by the way, that the 'from' address I'm using is registered in my gmail account. Do fixed IP addresses figure into this issue? Or is a firewall thing? oracleappscommunity on "Changing from e-mail id for registration e-mail" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/316906#post-1233923 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 18:33:37 +0000 oracleappscommunity 1233923@http://wordpress.org/support/ Had challenges to make 'wp mail SMTP' to work.

ColinABQ on "[Plugin: WP Mail SMTP] Mask mail server password" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285613#post-1122527 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:15:57 +0000 ColinABQ 1122527@http://wordpress.org/support/ Just a security note to the developer of, and to users of, this very nice plugin. First, not everyone will need or want to do this, but all users may want to at least consider it. It is strongly suggested for sites or networks that host multiple blogs, with a site-wide administrator setting them up and controlling mail accounts and so on. I suggest changing line 302 of the wp_mail_smtp.php file to alter the form input type for the mail server password to mask it with asterisks. This is a change to ONE LINE of code. Change ... <blockquote><input name="smtp_pass" type="text" </blockquote> to ... <blockquote><input name="smtp_pass" type="password" </blockquote> I did this because I am initially configuring, and sometimes administering, several blogs for friends and family, from the same domain and server. I have a single account in use at my Exchange server for all outbound, 'blog-related mail, such as registration and comment notifications. This simple change allows me to use that account without revealing the password for it to each and every 'blog operator.

It reads wrong; I know why you are are - and appreciate it. What happens when you use the lost your password on the blog? are you given a friendly message telling you to check your mail, or do you get an error message? whats the url to your blog? who is your host (if you dont want to share the url)? kahlablue on "users don't receive password" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267201#post-1063857 Mon, 04 May 2009 00:01:46 +0000 kahlablue 1063857@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thanks for the comments....... I already contacted my host and they said yes mail()was enabled. I also already tried switching to <a href="mailto:wordpress@mydomain.com">wordpress@mydomain.com</a> in the General Settings (which was another suggestion given to others with this same problem), but that didn't work for me either. I don't know about SMPT or PHP mail() functions..............sorry for my ignorance. I am here because I just built a site with some 30 pages and needed a blog. I was told wordpress would be a breeze to set up, which it was....it just doesn't function.

Then I understand that on most hosts mail should work without doing any SMTP settings. I've noticed that my current host has some limitations and one of them is that I don't have SMTP. So it's obvious that this should not work there. I have some other features not working as the RSS dashboard panels or the automatic plugin install. But now I think all is related to the host.
