   Hi,

   I installed MailPress yesterday and am not sure what I need to do to set up the mail server stuff. I searched the web and could not find easy instructions. Should I be using SMTP or POP? I thought I should use SMTP not POP is that right? So I filled in the SMTP settings by looking at what my provider (LunarPages) said to do. It looks like this:

   SMTP Server : mail.kokopellisearth.com
   Username : newsletter@kokopellisearth.com
   Password : My password on the provider
   Use SSL or TLS ? NO
   Port: Default SMTP port
   POP before SMTP: unchecked

   I have nothing in the POP settings.

   When I run the test I get:

   FAILED. Check your logs & settings !

   I don't know what to do next.

   I checked error log in cpanel and there is nothing in it.

   Thanks for the help!

   Brad

   Of course I got it to work just after posting this.

   Resolution: Change user name to the user name I use to sign on to lunarpages. I guess I had the idea it was a full email address from some instructions somewhere. Anyway, I'm in business!
