Question

Can I use an external SMTP server to send email? as I am hosting on EC2 instance that has a blocked ip.

Comments

I went into qa-util-mailer.php and added $mailer->Mailer='smtp' just to test it out before I go down the route of using the external mail stuff and I get this error about cant find the smtp class.

/qa-class.phpmailer.php on line 513 Fatal error: Class 'SMTP' not found in /var/www/wiltedleaf/qa-include/qa-class.phpmailer.php on line 581

I had to download PHPMailer 2.0.4 from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/PHPMailer%20v2.0.4%20for%20PHP4/

and stick the included class.smtp.php into qa-include/
