We've established this is a problem with your host and not MyBB. You'll need to talk to them.

if it works on v1.2 and don't work on v1.4 it's not server's blame should be a problem on codes. If it's blame of host what is the solution fo this error.

That may sound logical to you and to the average joe, but your not a programmer are you? The problem was caused by PHP bad handling of the safe-mode function and lack of decent documentation in this situation. A 'workaround' (note: not a fix) can be found here: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-342...#pid233082

I'm getting this error:

Then your mail server does not support the SMTP protocol we use. You should find a mail server that works with SMTP.

Well, I'm using Gmail/Google Apps. So MyBB does not work with Gmail. That resolves this issue, then.

I'm getting this problem with several SMTP servers. I've tried my host's, my own and Gmail, all of them get the same error about the 'FROM' field. Also, I've tried the PHP mail() function, and mails do not get sent (no errors show up in the logs). MyBB will not send any mail by any method, can someone explain why it's not working? I have already contacted my host about both methods, and they couldn't get MyBB to work with either, even though they said everything is fine on their end.

It works fine, and all of my members' email address successfully received the test email. MyBB still refuses to send mail using PHP, and using SMTP, it stays queued for a ridiculously long time, then I get the 'FROM' error in the log.
