I finally figured out how to fix this. All you need to do is fix the mail function in pluggable-functions.php in your include directory.
The function looks something like this:
if ( !function_exists(‘wp_mail’) ) :
function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = ”) {
if( $headers == ” ) {
$headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0\n” .
“From: ” . get_settings(‘admin_email’) . “\n” .
“Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\”” . get_settings(‘blog_charset’) . “\”\n”;
}
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
endif;
For Brinkster, you want to rewrite it like this:
if ( !function_exists(‘wp_mail’) ) :
function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = ”) {
// if( $headers == ” ) {
// $headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0\n” .
// “From: ” . get_settings(‘admin_email’) . “\n” .
// “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\”” . get_settings(‘blog_charset’) . “\”\n”;
// }
//
// return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
require(“c:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php”);
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = “sendmail.brinkster.com”;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = “User@yourdomain.com”;
$mail->Password = “your-pass-here”;
$mail->From = “User@yourdomain.com”;
$mail->FromName = “User”;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->Send();
}
endif;
This should be the simplest possible solution. You don’t have to change any other settings in any files. I had no access to the php.ini file or other external files because my host doesn’t permit it. So this is what I came up with using Brinkster’s documentation and what I was able to figure out from WordPress.
Hope this helps!
Crazy.
