username/password SMTP settings

[mcintyre321]

Hi,
I am running wordpress on Appharbor, and want to hook up Wordpress with the Mailgun SMTP service. The SMTP server needs a username and password, but in the config section there aren't any examples for setting these values.

Is this supported, and if so how?

thanks

Code: Select all

<mailer>
            <!-- SMTP server name used for sending e-mails. -->
            <set name="SmtpServer" value="localhost" phpName="SMTP" />

            <!-- SMTP server port used for sending e-mails. -->
            <set name="SmtpPort" value="25" phpName="smtp_port" />

            <!-- The default value of "From" header. -->
            <set name="DefaultFromHeader" value="phalanger@localhost.cz" phpName="sendmail_from" />
         </mailer>

PHP does not have any settings for SMTP username and password.

However it would be possible to make this feature in Phalanger, ideally using standard .NET credentials ...
Currently it behaves as PHP does, so you need an additional PHP library handling SMTP (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1121 ... e-password)

Thanks for the info. PHP is a funny old thing eh?

It is, luckily we can make it better

Actually Phalanger supported SMTP credentials, since it was using standard .NET SmtpClient. It had to be reimplemented in PHP way for compatibility reasons ... anyway it would be nice to use standard .NET Smtp settings again.
