I moved all my domains to a new hosting company: arvixe.com.

They do not support the mail() function - their quote:
"Unfortunately, you can not use the mail() function on Windows however you can use PHP's SMTP Class to send mail out by authenticating against the local SMTP server."

How do I modify gbook.php to accomplish this?

To be honest, I do not know.
I use a windows XP computer to test and I use the mail function. I configured PHP to using the php.ini file

Code: Select all

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost ;default value
;smtp_port = 25 ;default value
SMTP = mail.home.nl
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
sendmail_from = myname@home.nl

In which mail.home.nl is the smtp mail server of my hosting provider.

Greetings,

Send out mail using authenticated smtp is currently not supported in GBook, it relies on the mail() function. SMTP support may be added in the future, but modifying it to do it with the current version is unfortunately out of the scope of my free support.

Thank you,

I moved my hosting from an ASP to a Linux plan at my hosting company and everything works OK now.
