mail config nightmare

[sandy771]

I have just reinstalled mantis (complete reinstall) after an upgrade to PHP trashed my system (backup mysql first but sql restore failed - this is another issue though)

Mantis was previously installed and working, I have a vBulletin system up and running and sending mail

I can log in as admin but new user accounts are not getting the confirmation email so I cant delete the adminsitartor account, change the password or log on as a new user.

I have added the following to the config.inc file and when I run the testmail script I get a mail send successful message - but the mail never arrives. I have confirmed that the correct email addresses are set up for the administrator and for a new user I have created as a test account

$g_smtp_host = 'smtp.xxxx.co.uk';
$g_smtp_password = 'yyyyy';
$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_MAIL;
$g_smtp_username = 'mw@mydomain.com';

I am running on windows with mantis 1.2.1, PHP Version 5.3.2, and mysql version 5.1.44

I could use a gmail account if neccessary to send mail from but have also tried this to no avail

Any ideas please?

if you use SMTP server set
$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP

If you want to use gmail, this is worth a try

I tried gmail and that didnt play either.

The issue seems to be configuration on the server - i'll have a look at what vBulletin is using (this works OK) and see if I can glean anything from that.
