SMTP Authentication requirements (Use SMTP Mail)

[arukiyomi]

My host insists that my PHP scripts are configured to use SMTP authentication for email. I’m having trouble generating emails with download links in for my customers and I think this may be the solution.

Thanks!

You can use a WordPress SMTP mail plugin to configure your SMTP settings:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

This plugin will also make it so Your WordPress uses SMTP protocol to send the email. Now, in the eStore plugin you can specify to use WordPress’s mail function for email and it will use SMTP and everything should be fine.

Alternative Option

If you do not use the “Use WordPress Mailing System” option of eStore then the alternative is to modify eStore’s “eStore_email.php” file and specify your SMTP details then use the eStore’s normal mail option:

var	$protocol	= "smtp";    // mail/sendmail/smtp

var	$smtp_host	= "";	     // SMTP Server.  Example: mail.earthlink.net

var	$smtp_user	= "";	     // SMTP Username

var	$smtp_pass	= "";	     // SMTP Password

var	$smtp_port	= "25";	     // SMTP Port

var	$smtp_timeout	= 5;	     // SMTP Timeout in seconds

var	$_smtp_connect	= "";

finally… it worked! I used the plugin.

Ah-HAH!! I like this option!

I believe I’ll go in and get my wordpress using the plugin noted and send via my Google Apps SMTP servers. Then I should see all outbound email in my sent mailbox, and I can use the trusty, reliable google mail service I love so much.

And if the plugin gives me trouble, I can edit up the email.php script(s) for the various plugins. Sweet!

Thanks, Amin. Awesomely empowering and precise info. VERY appreciated!

Still not sure my sales processes are working. New Topic: What emails should we expect?

This forum, with the ability to dynamically add tags is awesome, too.

Cheers,

Tim

Why I could not find this file “email.php” ?

The name of the file has been changed to the following:

eStore_email.php
