on other hosting setups i use a php class to send authenticated smtp email but it does not work on eukhost (firefly) -the script cannot open a socket to the mailserver
error message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mail.XXXXX.com:25 (Connection timed out)
however i can use the basic php mail() function to send email.
i would rather send user authenticated mail with the smtp class -has anyone any idea why i cannot open a socket to the mailserver via script?
on edit: i just spotted another user on firefly who was having trouble with fsockopen on the firefly server
PHP change?
this was fixed by
Chief Marketing Officer who edited wrong entry in /etc/resolv.conf
but I do not have access to this file -
