no, youre not using smptp, by default..
wordpress uses php’s built in mail function, which your host has disabled. you can see that if you go pretend you have lost your password (i just tested it on your own site).. it pops up:
“The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”
There is a plugin for using smtp instead of the php mail function, somewhere.
My host tells me I need to use SMTP authentication to send emails.
What file has those settings so I can edit them appropriately. I cant seem to locate them on my own.
My server is using SendMail instead of mail.
here how I solve it.
tcheck the pluggable.php file
you might get this
// Set to use PHP’s mail()
$phpmailer->IsMail();
on line #238
change it for this if you are using SendMail
// Set to use PHP’s sendmail()
$phpmailer->IsSendmail();
or this if you are using QMail
// Set to use PHP’s qmail()
$phpmailer->IsQmail();
or this if you are using SMTP
// Set to use PHP’s smtp
$phpmailer->IsSMTP();
I got those function from the file class-phpmailer.php.
it worked for me. hope it will helps !
