Can't Send Email

edited January 2008 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hi-- I'm having problems with my vanilla install at idrinkyourmilkshake.com sending email. I did some searches, and saw that this is a "popular" problem: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/6842/ This seems to happen when sendmail isn't installed. I just talked to my host and they're telling me that sendmail is working fine -- a WP install on the same domain has no issues. Then I tried to set SMTP values to avoid this problem. They're tellling me my SMTP settings are correct, but I also get an error there: Affected Elements Email.ServerParse(); The error occurred on or near: 550 Administrative prohibition The host is telling me it's definitely a problem with Vanilla. Can you help? I'm at the end of my rope. Thank you.

    Is the 'support email address' managed by the same server you are using in the SMTP settings?

    Yes, they're both on the same domain. In fact, they're the same address.

    What do you mean the same address? The SMTP server should be a domain name not an email address.

    You're right. The SMTP user is the same as the support email address though. Is that a problem?

    I played around with the settings a little more, and I think I have it worked out. The domain was an add-on to my main domain, and although the add-on's SMTP is supposed to work (according to the host support), it doesn't until I set the SMTP server to the main domain name. Leaving the support address set to the addon domain doesn't make it not work. Anyway, thank you for your help, Minisweeper. I like Vanilla a lot so far.
