Email Settings

[Burnjob]

I'm using phpbb2 on a free hosting account http://www.burnjob.info/

I tried to configure the email settings but am getting SMTP errors when a user registers on the forum (test accounts) - obviously I did something wrong so I disabled the settings till I know what to put in.

Can someone please assist me in correctly settng up the email function/settings?

Here are (all) the email options in the phpbb2 interface:
ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS (shoudl be info@burnjob.info)
EMAIL SIGNATURE (irrelevant)
USE SMTP SERVER FOR EMAIL (YES or NO option)
SMTP SERVER ADDRESS (currently blank)
SMTP USERNAME (currently blank)
SMTP PASSWORD (currently blank)

Thank you.

Use your address as the mail server, did you create an Email address for it?

 

[Burnjob]

Yes Corey - I set info@burnjob.info as the admin address when I was going through the setup wizard.

choose yes on USE SMTP SERVER FOR MAIL
your SMTP server Address is mail.burnjob.info
your SMTP USERNAME is info@burnjob.info
and password is the password you input when you create your email account.


well hope it helps ^_^
