    I will try this on my installation instead of the PEAR workaround & let you know if it works.

    Thanks

    Those ini_set() calls could go in your bb-config.php as well and should work just the same.

    Having said that, I think this hack will only work on Windows Servers running IIS. But I’m not 100% sure about that.

    I have problem with mail sending functionality.Whenever a user registers or clicks on lost password on my website i.e. http://www.thecollegehunt.com .The user doesn’t get any password link.

    I have SMTP server name and port number with me,please tell me any workable solution.

    thanks

    Dear Johnhiler,

    I tried this plugin.I provided following settings:

    /* SETTINGS */

    // Set to ‘smtp’ to use an SMTP server

    var $mailer = ‘smtp’;

    // Set a specific name that emails will appear to come from

    var $from_name = ‘me@example.com’;

    // The hostname of the SMTP server

    var $smtp_host = ‘smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com’; //my SMTP server name

    // The port (default is 25)

    var $smtp_port = 465; //my SMTP port number

    // Use authentication (true or false)

    var $smtp_auth = true; //in my case authentication is mandatory

    // Authentication user

    var $smtp_user = ‘me@example.com’;

    // Athentication password

    var $smtp_pass = ‘password’;

    /* END SETTINGS */

    Rest everything is as it is. Still problem is not solved. Any idea please !!!

    Can you test that SMTP connection with something other than the bbPress plugin? Maybe an email client like Thunderbird or something? The password, before I edited it, had your domain name in it, which didn’t really look like a normal SMTP password. Try the connection with the settings you’re using for the plugin in some other email client to see if it works, then try the plugin.
