	I did it again One of the biggest "problems" with YaBB on non nix servers is the fact that most SMTP servers now require AUTH (authorisation) login before you can use the SMTP server to send or relay mail. Version 2.0* This mod allows the use of SMTP servers that require relay AUTH (authorization). It uses base64 encoding of the password to allow secure login to the SMTP server. This should basically allow the use of almost any private account on any host. It also fixes several discrepancies which were not according to RFC protocols in the original code. NOTE This mod is for SMTP server that need AUTH for relaying mail to outside email addresses. It will not fix server authentication by reversed DNS lookup of the receiving SMTP server. Installation THIS MOD ONLY WORKS AS A CLEAN INSTALL AND IS NOT MENT TO BE AN UPDATE FOR EARLIER RELEASED Apply the mod, upload the changed files, go into Board Preferences and check Authorization Required. Fill out username and password for the SMTP server and save your settings. Logout and do a forgot password to test if the server accepts AUTH. Version History 1.0 Initial Release 1.1 Added EHLO/HELO greeting exchange to work with MS Exchange server (needed for other SMTP servers too) 2.0 Complete rewite of the YaBB Sendmail subroutines to comply to latest RFC's and have detailed error logging. Get the mod here MOD UPDATE 2-1-2004 to fix error report on empty email addresses in mass mailing list

	OK, here I go sounding like a newbie AGAIN.... I installed the mod and have the same problem with losing my user name and password in my admin settings. This is what I have set up in the settings and preferences area: Location of Sendmail Program: /usr/sbin/sendmail SMTP-Server: mail.myisp.com The SMTP server needs authorisation: checked Send Mails using: sendmail I put in my username and password from myisp.com - iltb@myisp.com is how my isp has my account name, so that is what I have listed as my account name. And then I insert my password and click save. When I try to send an email through my board, for notifications, etc, nothing happens, and then when I go back to the admin screen, both my username and password have disappeared. This was my next hope in getting my email to work, since we have Exchange running on port 25 and trying to hard-code in port 2525 wasn't working to hit our local smtp server either. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

	I'm also having problems with this mod. As stated above, my username and password are not saved. It doesn't work with my exchange 2K or my ISP's (verizon) smtp server. I did edit settings.pl and add my username and password. When I did that, the Yabb admin shows the username and password as if they had been saved. The board seems to send out passwords for new users, and e-mails from the admin console, but seems to fail when it needs to send out reply notifications, which results in the users getting smtpauth errors. Is this mod working for anyone ? Win2K / IIS / YaBB sp1.1 Edit - Is this mod not compatible with sp1.1? Guess I need to update

When I did that, the Yabb admin shows the username and password as if they had been saved. I did the same thing and I get absolutely no response. YaBB says it has successfully sent the password or whatever email function I chose, but I never receive an email from YaBB. I also am dealing with an Exchage Server, so I can't send out directly from my website. I'm using Win2K / IIS / YaBB sp1.3 If it appears that there is no way for me to use email on my server with YaBB, then please tell me. I don't know enough about perl to try and figure out a work-around either. I'll just have to find some way to use the board and let my members know that they cannot use any of the email functions. Or set the board up on a remote site somewhere else. Thanks again for any advice you can offer me!

	I upgraded to SP1.3.1 last night. This mod was the first mod applied. User name and password are still NOT saved in the admin center. However, once I manually edit settings.pl, it seems to be working. I check permissions and all is good in that deptarment. I suspect this may be a win2k thing..... file locking issue maybe?

	At least pick up the version from last week (on the same link in the first message) as there seem to be a problem with the previous mod where one block of code vanished so the username and password were not saved in the Settings. It now should save those and no SMTP AUTH errors should arise anymore.

	I didn't notice you had updated. I applied the new update, and it saves username/password now. It also seems to be working with my ISP's server(verizon), but still doesn't work with my Exchange2k server. Gives the following error. SMTP AUTH fatal error: 503 5.5.2 Send hello first. Thanks for the update!
