It looks as though your ISP forbids the sending of mail through another smtp server?

Would that be it then?
Who knows, I seem to have to use the O2 server in my email client too, for all adresses bar the ones that use Gmail.
However, I have tried the O2 SMTP server in the script too, also with no result (might have made mistakes in the script, of course).
However, my son just told me that the Gmail servers can be tricky in themselves too.

Yes, I`ve heard the same thing. Its not something I would ever use myself. Could be an ISP issue then, in which case you probably won`t be able to do much.

Well, I was lucky, the owner of my hosting company has written a few lines of code, and now I use the script through my O2 server.
Works fine, only causes a bit of a delay when you click "Send card", and seems to affect the "Advanced date" Cron job (I will probably find a cure for that), but at least there are no more blocked addresses.
Also, could you tell me if i have done evrything correct in the following code (from the cron job) with the closing brackets and semicolons, as I can really not see the wood through the trees with all those brackets in it:
$MAIANSEND->send_mail(PHPMAILER,$MAIANSEND->char_back($MAIANSEND->strip_slashes($CARDS['vname'])),$CARDS['vemail'],$MAIANSEND->char_back($MAIANSEND->strip_slashes($SETTINGS->website)),$SETTINGS->email,str_replace("%d", $MAIANSEND->char_back($MAIANSEND->strip_slashes(($CARDS['rname'] ? $CARDS['rname'] : $CARDS['accname']))), $msg_ecard65),$MAIANSEND->email_message('../templates/email/notification.txt.txt'.(isset($_COOKIE['language_file'])&&$_COOKIE['language_file']=='nl.php'?'_nl':'').'.txt')
);
));Thanks.

Ok, thats good news. Code seems ok at first glance.

Thanks.
All is working fine now.
The only (very minor thing) is the delay when clicking the "Send" button, which goes away when PHPMAILER is set to 0, but then the sending also stops working.
However, like I said, it is a minor thing.

Set to 0 your system would use the native PHP mail function, set to 1 its SMTP. So I guess the delay is authentication of the SMTP server?

That's what I thought too.
Thanks.

Ok, well glad its sorted anyway.

Yes, I have a fully working script now, with every single detail working as it should.
A few updates here and there wouldn't go amiss, though.

lol, I know what you mean.

Glad you do, David.
However, lately I have noticed quite a few spammers have found the way to my e-card system, I assume they are human, because I use the captcha for sending cards (or would there be machines that can get round the captcha?), I even get notifications with attachments.
I obviously put them straight in the bin, but is there anything I can do against that?
Thanks.

Yes, bots can read captcha`s now. They have been able to for awhile now. Not 100% reliable.

I hereby declare war on the bots then.

Spam is a total nuisance, I have some routines running during the day that keep the forum clean, but the odd one slips through. Still, better than having a constant flood of spam to keep deleting.
I`m tempted to put the forum behind a password protected area and allow access to verified emails only. I am in the process of re-designing the site, so I`ll decide when I`m done.
