SMTP authentication: How to make it work?

[obones]

Hi,

I'm desperately trying to get SMTP authentication to work with the mantis version I have, that is 1.0.3
I setup the global variables in config_inc.php to the same values I use in my thunderbird email client, but while thunderbird can send emails, every time an email is to be sent by mantis it fails with a message that is not helpful at all (send failed on address XXX)
Server side, I see the connection from Mantis, but it seems it never sends anything after the AUTH LOGIN command, hence not being authenticated at all.
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hi,

In config_defaults_inc.php
Set $g_phpMailer_method= 2; Instead of $g_phpMailer_method= 0;
And
$g_smtp_host= 'Your SMTP host';
$g_smtp_username = 'your username';
$g_smtp_password = 'your password';

Hope that what you need

I already did that, and the server receives the connection.
It's just that it seems the authentication done by Mantis is bogus
