SMTP connection on different port

[rbystrianyk]

Hi all,

I have an SMTP server at port 1024. I changed all the SMTP port references in all the PHP files from the default of 25 to 1024. I also tried specifying a server name of "smtp-server-name:1024". All of these causes mantis just to spin for a long while and then eventually show a blank screen.

Any thoughts???

I would just skip the email all together if I could get user passwords - so if anyone has an idea on that - that would work as well.

Thanks!

I've been tracking this problem into the bowels of PHPMailer. Right now it is hanging at this line:

$announce = $this->get_lines();

in the class.smtp.php

I'm connecting to an SMTP on a Microsoft Exchange server.

The investigation continues ...

Roman,

Interesting issue, however let me ask you this...

Is the server that Mantis is running on, a separate server than your MS Exchange Server or is it the same box?

If it is different, have you made sure that you are allowing the IP Address (or host name) of the Mantis server to 'relay' through your Exchange server via SMTP?

If you are unsure on how to do/check this, let me know and I will provide you simple to follow instructions.
