I can't get mail to send at all

[Guest]

I have noticed A LOT of posts that specify that mail can't be sent using mantis/phpmailer. I installed mantis instead of bugzilla because bugzilla looked like a pain in the a** to install on windows.

But since I have spent 5 hours trying to get a stupid email to send, maybe bugzilla would have been a better choice.

Does no one have a solution to the email? I am already setting the right settings in the config_defaults_inc.php so please don't tell me to do that.

when I set

Code: Select all

$g_phpMailer_method = 0

it doesn't work. gives this error:

Code: Select all

Testing Mail - PROBLEMS SENDING MAIL TO: 
Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function.

when I set

Code: Select all

$g_phpMailer_method = 1

it says it is configured properly but I get no email notifications

same with

Code: Select all

$g_phpMailer_method = 2

This is driving me crazy and I guess I need to just install bugzilla

Actually, it was working all along.

Turns out there is a problem with my network, it is locked down so tight that emails don't get through.

I'm glad to see Mantis does actually work
