Hello,

I am setting up a forum for my small community and have run into a major issue when it comes to sending Activation Emails:



- Set up NoIp Hosted Mail (Working using mail.noip.com and Outlook Client)
- Inserted SMTP Details into "Board Settings > Mail Settings"
- Competed this test with success
- Signed Up the "TestUser" but got no mail
- Changed SMTP Details to my Gmail account and it worked

Now... I would like to use my @risingfreeborns.com email account for the sending of Forum Emails. Is there anything the MyBB community could suggest to get the NoIP hosted email to work? The odd thing is that the PHP test mail script worked fine...

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,
Albert.
You settings are wrong, i think.

you have your mail server up & running and have the correct mx records to point to your mail server ? if sending mail via php works why not use it rather than smtp ? The email address that mail appears to come from will be your [email protected] email address.. however it will fail if someone replies to it...

As both my Mail and DNS are with NoIp, they automatically edit the records.

I was considering using the PHP mail option, but for the life of me can't figure out how! >.<
Port 465 normally requires SSL encryption. If you connect without encryption no communication is possible.

Also please check the System Mail Logs on your ACP.
Just tried SSL and TLS, still nothing.

There's the overview of the System Mail Logs... The bottom error was incorrect SMTP server details.
risingfreeborns.com.smtp.noip.com doesn't exist:
Quote:Non-existent domain.
