mail function with smtp auth

[AirHost]

Hello,

Need help. I've googled and search this forum a lot and I didn't find the answer. How can I configure that PHP mail function to work only with SMTP AUTH?
Installed PEAR modules: Mail, Net_SMTP, Net_Socket, Auth_SASL & Auth_SASL2.
PHP.ini SMTP PORT 465/26
Restarted Apache, exim

Still doesn't work. How m I testing to see if it's working or not? I got a contact form (wordpress plugin) and it's still sending mails.

Please help

Are you using the full email address for username in your plugin settings?

No. The plugin doesn't know to use smtp. it still sends with the mail function.

Does the plugin have a settings page? Does this plugin have a name?


Thanks

You might want to have a look at their support forums:

The only flexible thing I see about that plugin is how to use it, not how it works. It's simple, as it says it is. basic.

Instead of installing all kinds of things you probably didn't have to, you might look around for a more complete contact form plugin.

You missunderstood what i want to do. Let me repeat : I want all mails (web forms)sent via MAIL function to be sent WITH smtp account. It doesn't matter what plugin my customers use. MAIL function must work only with SMTP by default.

what infopro meant is that you should ask the guy who made the plugin how to get it to use SMTP method and not PHP mail function instead of asking cpanel team here since wordpress is a 3rdparty and cpanel team here dont give support to 3rdparty stuff.

Because what mather is mostley how script is coded what function it wants to use so i guess person who made contact form 7 plugin for wordpress must of coded php mail function instead of smtp auth function so thats the reason why infopro told you to contact coder about it and ask him if he could add a SMTP auth feature so you can use that into script since you cannot do SMTP auth only on cpanel/whm just to get script to use SMTP, thats more up to how plugin is coded and nothing todo with cpanel/whm.

I know how to make that plugin to work with SMTP. that's not the case here. let me clear it your you: MAIL php function must work with smtp. I want the plugin(or any contact forms plugins) (as it is) to DO NOT WORK without SMTP.

um well it doesent use SMTP by default it executes a .exe file or w.e file it has for linux instead of login in to SMTP mail server and then sends a mail.

easyiest way is todo like this create a e-mail account to w.e you want like [email protected] or so that you want it then that login details on your script and assign your domain as your SMTP server

Note: I have just checked and it sems it was correct it uses a file called /usr/sbin/sendmail so every time a php script executes php mail it will then tell php to execute sendmail file with content the script tells it to send as mail.

Sorry, for the confusion. I hope this doesn't add to it.

In WHM » Service Configuration » PHP Configuration Editor, Advanced Editor, find:

disable_functions
This directive allows you to disable certain functions for security reasons. It takes on a comma-delimited list of function names. disable_functions is not affected by Safe Mode.

Add to your existing list here: mail

Save, Restart Apache.

That might be useful to you. GL!

It can be done. That's why I posted here, so maybe i can get some help. Well, that's why I installed PEAR modules, so that php doens't use the sendmail by his own and send mails without SMTP authentification.
