I am going to use general names and IP addresses to describe the SMTP/PHP.ini issue I have run into.
Mail server is Mail Enable ver 6 Standard . MYBB is running on Server 2008 standard .
mailserver IP 10.1.1.5
IIS MyBB 10.1.1.10
All works well except when I configure new user registration to use Email. the end user is hit with "Service unavailable" using the SMTP configuration I tried TLS and claim it cannot talk with the smtp port 25. Gets to the 220 and then quits. The username and password are correct and I can used a winbatch script to send a test emails successfully. Using SMTP how can I pass correct authentication to the mail server. I do not want to take the chance fo ran open relay.
Went down a different road:
I setup for using PHP and I added the following to the php.ini file..
FYI: Reverse lookup is configured witht he ISP.. MAIL works great from other scripts and clients I have run.
[mail function]
SMTP = mail.motoforms.com
smtp_port = 25
auth_username = [email protected]
auth_password = whothehellknows
From the mail server logs: "The ip's and anme have been changed around for security reasons.

With most mail clients and my script it requires extended uthentication. Not the SPA but usually "My SMTP server requires authentication" use the credential supplied or some other.
OK, Found a work around. On the mail server I set the IIS server as not requiring authentication for relay. Mail is now flowing for new users.
