Anyone running on WebFaction hosting?
Getting Mass Mailing going is giving me fits.
I think I've got the right parameters; I wrote a test page that sends mail and it works when inside the same 'webapp' as my MyBB 1.6. But I just can't see to get the Mass Mailing going.
I've got the frequency of the Mass Mailing task down to 2 minutes, and I have a user browsing around after I schedule the mailing. I think that's enough to trigger the task.
The SMTP username is set to the mailbox name, not the email name.
I'm at a loss. WebFaction support has been prompt & helpful, but I'm still not running.
Thanks for any examples or insights.

Quote:I had a number of small problems, but it works now. Here's a successful connection from MyBB to a WebFaction SMTP server.
Port: 465
Encryption: SSL
Username: the name of the WebFaction mailbox. Be sure that the mailbox you specify is associated with the email address in MyBB's Configuration/Admin Email field, because the Admin Email will be used as the From address.
Seems to work OK with Add Message IDs To Headers set to Yes.
