Email server problem

[marius-ciclistu]

there are many topics related to gmail server settings not working around, so I don't know how those setings work. All I know is that if you leave them as they are, all is working ok with the host mail settins.

The posted wrote that either gmail or not, same problem.

I think for sendmail you don't need any smtp details

It depends of what kind of hosting you use. In some cases locahost is free to use without any credentials, in other more secure hosting (or if the mail server is not in the same box), you must authenticate.

So can we conclude there is another way osclass sends it mails if you don't fill the SMTP mail settings in the admin, right ?
It uses then the hoster sendmail function where no details are needed at all. (at my server)

Only if Custom Server and localhost is used.

The other you say (you put crap in settings and still works) can't happen. Also gmail is not recomended, we have talked about that in these forums several times. Not sure why Osclass still has that option.

This is true. I have 2 clients that are experiencing problems because the sendmail doesn't work on wp. Until now the hosters didn't solve the situations.

Trust me, it works.
I tried to disable the email function by renaming the gmail smtp server to smtp.gmail.con and that works just fine.
The emails are still sent, but not through gmail I guess

Anyway, this is getting a hairy topic, good luck with your site.

I was talking in my behalf regarding the emails. I have a shared host, so I'm not the one that maintains the server. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
