SMTP how to?

[bhl007]

hi, I would like to know whether LMP have this feature?

For example: When I send out email to others with the ---- From email address: abc@hotmail.com

Due to it is gone through the server when send out the email, there will be the record there.

When the user that receive email, it will stated FROM: abc@hotmail.com, when he click on view source, he will know that actually it is actually the real address xyz@mydomain.com

What If I don't want it to be xyz@mydomain.com, but I need it to be xyz@gmail.com?

Does the SMTP Server (recommended) and Authorize by Checking Email work in this case?

Should I fill in "Host: pop.gmail.com" and "Host:smtp.gmail.com"?

It will send using the smtp and pop3 at gmail, but I can do setting here so that I can use schedule email in this case. How can I do it?

What are the details that I need to fill in in order to make it work correctly?

ListMail allows you to use an external SMTP server if you like.  It sounds like you're trying to change the "Return-Path" header of the message.  Some SMTP servers will not allow this to be anything other than @yourdomain.com.  If you're using a gmail SMTP server then it might need to be you@gmail.com.  Furthermore, some (few) hosts do not allow the "Send From Email" to be different than the Return-path.  I suspect this might be true of gmail since it is a free service (isn't it?  I'm not all-that familiar..)  Anyways, this may not be your problem - we need to get connected first.

The host smtp.gmail.com does not seem to respond on port 465.  While it does connect, there doesn't seem to be a service here.  Port 25 is the default and I am getting a mail server connection here:

220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP g5sm800367wra

Depending on gmail's setup, you may need to use AUTH instead of authorize by checking email.  When you set up a gmail account in Outlook, do you need to go into 'Advanced' and enable 'My outgoing server requires  authentication' to send email through it?  If you do, then you should probably use AUTH and not checking.

Likewise, pop.gmail.com is not responding on port 993 for 'Authorize by Checking Email'.  Try changing the 'type' to POP3 instead of SSL.  

When I try with another email that have smtp and pop3 which the smtp port is:25 , I get this error:

Most hosts respond on port 25 for SMTP.  I am not sure why your secondary host didn't work there.

Generally, you should run ListMail on a commercial host that supports commercial opt-in email lists ($7.95/mo).  You can then use your host's provided SMTP server.

I have already try what you say, but still not working.

I try to change the gmail smtp port to port:25. Then, when I try to run, it say smtp connection is success, but I cannot receive any email at all. Don't know what happened.

Then, I try to set the From: to same as the gmail address, and try again. But it is still not working.


And, another host that I mention is at http://www.tm.net.my/html/htm/product_streamyx/email_set-up.htm
Which is my ISP

This email doesn't need authentication. SMTP port:25. I can run it succesfully in Outlook Express. But when connect using LMP, the SMTP can't connect.  :cry:

I am in need of this function:
can connect to other smtp and send email by using that particular smtp.
the From address can work when it is not the same with the real email address.

TheGroup Mail software FREE version listed at
http://infacta.com/download.asp?a=nav have this function but they don't have follow up mailing list add on.

I'm hope Dean able to help me in this case.

ListMail can generally do this but you can run into unexplainable problems if you are using an SMTP server that doesn't come with your web site hosting.  Whether you use SMTP or not, welcome, confirmation, and notification emails still come from your web site (PHP mail) to prevent too many connections to SMTP.  It is always recommended that you use your web host for SMTP.

If you can send from streamxyz via Outlook you should be able to set it up and have it work in ListMail.  That is, unless your web host running ListMail has DNS issues where it cannot find the server.  From what you say about your Outlook settings, it sounds to me like you need 'Authorize by Checking email' for that service.

I wish I could be of more assistance.  If you want to order a Server Analysis I'd be willing to do some testing - but can't really guarantee anything.

it sounds to me like you need 'Authorize by Checking email' for that service.

Ya, it's working. But, I found that it will automatically uncheck smtp, and use the phpmail(). And the email delivered out have the sender server name.
