Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not experienced with php or wordpress/bbpress.

I have my bbpress site up just fine, but its not sending out registration emails. I have checked all the easy fixes

Inbox is empty

Spam is empty

tried on gmail, netscape, and hotmail.

Waited over an hour

I believe that the issue has to do with my hosting requiring authentication for outgoing mail. I called them and they explained that they do require this.

I am wondering solutions I could pursue.

Is there a way to make BBpress authenticate?

Or

Can someone provide a guide to getting an alternative SMTP system set up.

Thank you all for your help!

Thanks for the response,

That does work and will most likely end up using that solution. I am struggling with getting Swift up and running however. I copied the directory into my hosting and everything. I cannot however figure out how to set up the “connection” with my gmail acount. I found the page on Swift’s website that says its a guide but I cannot follow it.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

That seems pretty straightforward. What have you tried and what is happening?

Can anyone tell me how to get Swift to work?? I need to get my bbPress forum up and running asap for a client. I too am pretty new to php (for the past year or so) and bbPress so I am a little lost. I have my files uploaded to my server, just now how do I make it so that all my email authentication’s are sent through it??

Thanks!
