MyBB Community Forums

First off here is my setup:

Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
APACHE v2.4 (x86) apachelounge.com
- mod_fcgid
PHP v5.4.16 NTS (x86)
MySQL v5.6.12 Community (x86)
MyBB v1.6.10
hMailServer v4.3 (x86)

Domain: shariertech.com/forum

And here is a bit from my SMTP server log. First a transaction that worked... then a transaction sent by MyBB:

The working one:

"SMTPD"	4448	24	"2013-06-28 19:58:42.592"	"32.144.82.159"	"SENT: 220 shariertech.com ESMTP"

Now MyBB's version:

"SMTPD"	4448	25	"2013-06-28 20:01:48.359"	"127.0.0.1"	"SENT: 220 shariertech.com ESMTP"

"SMTPD"	2880	25	"2013-06-28 20:01:48.374"	"127.0.0.1"	"SENT: 530 SMTP authentication is required."

As you can see the AUTH data isn't even being sent. My server sends the auth request and gets nothing back. In the end it complains about not having any auth data. Can this be fixed easily?

EDIT: All the MyBB Mail settings are filled out. SMTP user and pass is also filled out, but just not used. I can use my SMTP server with other clients.

I also checked out smtp.php ... nothing was entered for auth data. I tried entering my auth data in there and it didn't make a difference

After further inspection of smtp.php it seems that the auth method verbage is different, and the code (250 on my server) is different than what is in the smtp.php script as well. I'm not a PHP whiz yet, but I'll keep fiddling with it and post my findings.

Please do not modify that...
You could try changing:

preg_match("#250-AUTH( |=)(.+)$#mi", $data, $matches);

to:

preg_match("#250 AUTH( |=)(.+)$#mi", $data, $matches);

It worked! Thanks!

Just wondering... do you need me to play around with some kind of version command with my SMTP server? I figured you must have coded it with the dash (-) in there for a reason.
