dude

didnt check that duh lol

Anyone else able to shed some light on this problem,

I really need to nail this sucker 🙂

Thanks but it did not work

the only thing it managed to do was restrict the whole blog and presented a login panel.

I only want to restrict certain aspects of my site to non-members..the activity on my site, member profiles, and associated members posts.

ok I uploaded the script anyway, tested my gmail account including the spam filter..no email

not sure what you meant about giving the script a success message?
so I just copied what you wrote and filled in the right to’s and from’s email addresses.

Ok I just need you to be a bit more ‘specific’ with your advise because I’ve not been in this position before in terms of writing, uploading, and placing code 🙂

So just a couple of questions..

<?php
$email = 'you@youremail.com'; <--- my @gmail account ?
$fromemail = 'me@myemail.com'; <--- admin@pinhit.com ?
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$msg = 'This is a test';
$headers = "From: ".$fromemail;
if( !mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers) ){
	echo "Problem sending email.";
}else{
	echo "Email successfully sent";
}
?>

[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

Are the to’s and from’s correct..?

Do I upload the file to: /mail/pinhit.com/admin ?

no I created a new email within cpanel = admin@pinhit.com

I did not enter my @gmail.com

I’ve seen the folder created in the ‘mail folder’ in cpanel File Manager
checked if it had anything in it, theres 3 new folders = cur, new, tmp, and a maildirsize file.

what do you mean by ‘real’ email? the email account I recently set-up in cpanel’s email account..or my ‘name’@gmail.com’ for example..?

ok I can use the script template you’ve shown me, what location on the server should I be uploading this to..?

by the way I’m gonna try another mail plugin:
wp mail from

I tried using that plugin and still no emails sent, i got this if it helps:

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
220-box751.bluehost.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 #1 Fri, 13 May 2011 06:45:55 -0600

250 HELP

I don’t fully understand how to make to, and where to put that file you mention, or visit the page?
