Notification email stopped working with SMTP

[entezario]

Hi,
We are using mantis for a long time and it has just stopped sending notification emails.
I looked up this forum but did not help.
here is the config_inc.php content:

<?php $g_hostname='localhost:3360';$g_db_type='mysql';$g_database_name='mantis';$g_db_username='root';$g_db_password='';


$g_email_receive_own = ON;
$g_enable_email_notification = ON;

$g_administrator_email = 'omid@fusepartners.com.au';
$g_webmaster_email = 'omid@fusepartners.com.au';

# the "From: " field in emails
$g_from_email = 'omid@fusepartners.com.au';

# the return address for bounced mail
$g_return_path_email = 'omid@fusepartners.com.au';

# select the method to mail by:
# 0 - mail()
# 1 - sendmail
# 2 - SMTP
$g_phpMailer_method = 2;

# This option allows you to use a remote SMTP host. Must use the phpMailer script
# One or more hosts, separated by a semicolon, can be listed.
# You can also specify a different port for each host by using this
# format: [hostname:port] (e.g. "smtp1.example.com:25;smtp2.example.com").
# Hosts will be tried in order.
$g_smtp_host = 'fusesbs.fusepartners.local';

# These options allow you to use SMTP Authentication when you use a remote
# SMTP host with phpMailer. If smtp_username is not '' then the username
# and password will be used when logging in to the SMTP server.
$g_smtp_username = 'myusername';
$g_smtp_password = 'mypassword';

Have you tested the Mantis server connection to the SMTP server in console mode ?
You can use the telnet command to connect to smtp server on port 25.

Or you can test with an another mail tools.

How do I do that?

Sorry for the time of answer...

You must open a console and use the command telnet (for windows)
ex : telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx are the ip addresse of the mail server.

Yes, It works. Comes up with server name "fusesbs.fusepartners.local" and "Microsoft ESMPT MAIL service ready at ...".
What else should I check?
Thanks
