PHP Mail Function

[Ragsy1]

I saw another post in Free Hosting about something similar, but I didn't want to derail or steal his post, so I'll post my own. Having an issue with phpBB, activation emails being sent from the board's internal mail handler aren't getting past server side it appears, I keep getting them bounced back saying:

`````

I'm not that inteligent when it comes to this stuff... but in my cPanel my default address is set to Webmaster@GloriousLS.ElementFX.com but in the header of the failed email, it's trying to send from a different address?


Edit:

If I set the phpBB board to SMTP instead of internal, I get this error back everytime I try to have it send an activation email for users registering instead:

Could not connect to smtp host : 110 : Connection timed out

DEBUG MODE

Line : 112
File : smtp.php


Not sure what to do.

What configuration of PHP are you using? The Mail function has been disabled on the basic plan; so if your using that you may have to submit a request for level 2.

I'm on intermediate. I've been on it since the 11th of this month, I think.

Check your SMTP configuration. Check that you've put the right information.
Meanwhile, you can change the way forums send mail, select the "script" way instead of SMTP, which works fine with the "Intermediate" PHP version..

My SMTP config is accurate, but I get that error previously mentioned using it. And, as far as using the "script" way, for what ever reason, my test users are creating are unable to recieve the activation emails, and it's not spam filters holding it from their inboxes. Tested this on two of my personal addresses, from ISP, as well as a hotmail, and gmail account. The outgoing emails are bouncing back with the failed delivery message previously sited in my first post. So, they are trying to send... but they keep getting things like this as a reason of failure:

"SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<ragsy1@cossacks.x10hosting> SIZE=2371:
host relay.verizon.net [206.46.232.11]: 550 5.1.8 invalid/host-not-in-DNS return address not allowed"

Through further testing, my emails that are being sent from the web client in cPanel, using my webmaster@gloriousLS.elementFX.com email address are doing the same thing, but the confusing part is that it can recieve email fine, as well as send to my accounts main email address.

Ok, wait for an Admin to check this.

Ok, thanks.

I have a posted question on here and this is exactly the same thing thats happening to me with Phpbb2 and i also have intermediate has anyone figured out whats wrong yet? Heres my return mail:

I just tried to send my other e-mail address a regular message from the mail center and it did the same thing so I'm guessing that sending any mail from e-mail accounts is broken?

This could be caused by the DNS problems, what I am noticing in the returned mail it lists cossacks.x10hosting , it should be cossacks.x10hosting.COM

There was an error in the server config that was fixed two days ago where it had .COM missing from the host name.

Are you still getting these errors now?

 

[9svn6]

yup still having the same problems.
Edit:
has anyone figured this out?

here is one of the kickbacks:

I believe this problem is split between two threads. I think this problem was fixed yesterday 11/27 -- If it is still not working can you post a new bounce message from today?
