Hello Everyone

Well I am winning in general and have come a long way since a week
ago. Now all there is between me and running MailPress is that SMTP
Fails on Test.

I contacted 1and and this was there reply:


Thank you for contacting us.

These are the correct settings on the email client.


imap : imap.1and1.co.uk (IMAP setup)
pop: pop.1and1.co.uk (POP setup)
SMTP Server: auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk
Username: <email address>
Password: <your password>
Use SSL: No
Port: Default SMTP Port
-> or try use 587.

SMTP Auth: No
-> must be enabled

On More Settings> Outgoing server>Check

"My outgoing Server (SMTP) requires authentication"
and "Use same settings as my incoming mail server". Click OK


Well I did all the above except I could not follow the instruction "On
more setting". What more settings?

If anyone could help I'd be really grateful.

Happy Christmas to all. Regards John

I think it would be simpler to use the mailpress addon
mailpress_connection_sendmail

see inside mailpress folder and treat it like a wordpress plugin

once activated, go to settings

SendMail is located in its default location on 1and1
servers : /usr/sbin/sendmail,

GREAT NEWS YES, IT'S WORKING

I finally tried the PHP for sending and it worked.

Thanks for all your help. Now I shall begin the process of learning to
use it. I have been sending test emails and it looks really great. I'm
just going on to see how to send the New Year Newsletters etc.

All best wishes to everyone for the Christmas and the New Year.
Regards John

Last Question

I think sometimes I saw emails signed "The Management". Is it possible
to change this to Regards John etc

Thanks, Regards John

Not sent by MailPress, may be 1and1 ?
