emailed info!

Thanks!

I downloaded and installed development version right now and still same issue…

Hi hiphopsmurf

I have reset plugin 2 times, the second one first deauthorizing the App at dropbox. I both times I changed the temp folder to the default recommended by your plugin (it was defaulting to something else because of the theme I am using…)

I even changed permissions of the folder to 777, to play it safe…

I both occasions, thru serveral attempts I got either of both of this messages:

Error!!! Unable to connect to ssl://api-content.dropbox.com:443. Error: Connection timed out

Error!!! Forbidden. This could mean a bad OAuth request, or a file or folder already existing at the target location.

Thanks !

Surprising… I find they respond quickly, courteously, and promptly in their forums… what was your problem?

Hi, when you say solved, what is the solution?

Thanks!

Hi Callum,

No, it is actually the other way around. I am hosting in tmdhosting and using godaddy smtp servers because I cannot make it work with tmdhosting server. That is the server that gives the “no such user”, but with empty quotes, like if your plugin was passing and empty string as the user…

In other words, godaddy SMTP server works fine, it is tmdhosting that does not.

They suggested something about testing with telnet, but I do not have a clue how can that help…

Cheers

Hi Callum,

After looking into it a bit better, it is not a reversal, it was me being not proficient… I was confused by the beginning of the feedback from the plug-in in the test, where it starts with PHP_mailer…

Here is my situation. With an external SMTP server (godaddy’s), the plug-in works just fine:

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
220 smtpauth04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ESMTP
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250-smtpauth04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-8BITMIME
250 PIPELINING
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250 Sender accepted.
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250 Recipient accepted.
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
354 End your message with a period.
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250 Accepted message qp 28868 bytes 692
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
221 Good bye.

But with my server, I get the following:

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
220-node01.tmdhosting940.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 #1 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 02:45:34 -0500
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.

250-PIPELINING
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250 HELP
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250 OK
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
550-Verification failed for

550 Sender verify failed
SMTP -> ERROR: RCPT not accepted from server: 550-Verification failed for

550 Sender verify failed

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250 Reset OK

Their answer to the problem is

The SMTP plugin, which you use doesn’t appear to be correctly passing arguments to the MTA, thus fails to properly authenticate. I however managed to successfully send 2 test messages to my personal address using the standard php mail() method. If you are still experiencing any issues with it, could you please let us know what exactly are they and how exactly can we recreate them on our end, so we can check further.

It does indeed look like your plug-in is not passing the username at all to this SMTP server..

And my issue is that with PHP_mailer it appears that not all the emails go out, but I have no idea on how to debug that aspect.

Any hints on how to proceed?

Thank you so much.

Hi Callum,

I am not sure what is the best way to explain the problem. Maybe we can exchange emails and once we solve it we can close it here…

(sorry for the delay, I just saw your answer right now by coming to check to the plugin area…)

My email is santiago at leadsemporium.com

Thanks.

Thanks… I migrate servers, that server was is a shared basis, too secure and too limited for my needs. I am sure it had all to do with the server, and support never came from them.

The funniest thing seems to be happening in the new server though… it does work, but… I have to tell the plug in to use PHP mail in order to use SMTP, and vice-versa!

Had you ever heard of anything similar, ever?
