Got this error message when I tried to send a PM.

Error
An error has occured:

I could not connect to the SMTP server.

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!
Just me or?

Willow, I got the error in sending you a test PM, but when I check my profile, I show it as sent. Did you get it?

I actually had that problem a few months ago. I sent a PM, got that message, and sent again. The person got it twice, so maybe it goes through anyway?

Actually yes I got it. And the ones I sent got delivered as well [img]smile.gif[/img] So it seems it works despite the error message.

when you send a pm, the server also sends an email to the person you are 'pm'ing. An SMTP server is an outgoing email server. the forum software is attmepting to send the email and cant because the email server info has not yet been updated.

ok, i've spouted off enough technobable now.

Exactly! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am almost done with it, inbound works, outbound doesn't--locally it does (within the network lan but not outside of it YET) working on configing that now.. it's easy stuff.. wee!
