I’m still hoping someone can help me in setting up WP and php to send mail through a separate mail server. It was suggested that I edit my php.ini file. I did by adding
<pre>
SMTP = mailserver.com
</pre>
and in looking at what’s active in my php setup, this addition “takes” after restarting the server. However, emails (such as those sent after comments are posted) are not sent. I seem to be missing something here; probably trivial but I’m not getting it! Thanks.
Have you turned on the option to have notices sent out? It’s under Options -> General Blog Settings -> comments_notify (T/F)

Yes I have all of the notify settings turned on. Is there a file within the WP directly that hard codes the external server (like phpbb)? If there is and it’s set to local or something, this would explain the problem. I haven’t been able to find any such line though.

Just in case anyone has an idea here, please read the previous posts. I cannot get WP to send email notifications after posts. I have edited my php.ini file so that any call for an SMTP server routes to my available SMTP server, the “comments_notify” option is set to True, and a phpbb forum I have running on the same server sends mail through the external server as expected. If anyone with php configuration experience reads this…Help!
I edited the class-pop.php include file (the $mailserver is blank by default)…
var $MAILSERVER = ‘mail.yourserver.com’; // Set this to hard code the server name
It’s working like a charm now…
