Thank you for having subscribed to our Linux Shared Hosting services. Your domain blablabla is hosted on reading.eukhosting.net. This email is to notify that we would be disabling PHPMail function on all our Linux Shared Hosting Servers effective 29th July 2011. During the server audits we conducted after the recent mail issues faced by many of our Linux Shared Hosting customers, we found out that
many spam emails were being sent out from the server using different spamming scripts with the help of PHPMail function. This resulted in mail server IPs being blocked in many RBLs/ACLs and the legitimate emails were also being rejected as a result of this.

In order to avoid any further blacklisting of IPs or other email issues, we are disabling the PHPMail function on all our Linux Shared Hosting Servers by 28th July 2011. If you are using PHPMail function, you will need to update the scripts and use SMTP authentication. Emails won't be sent out from these servers without enabling SMTP authentication. We
request you to update the scripts before 29th July 2011 in order to avoid any inconvenience as these changes will come into effect on all Linux Shared Servers by then.

You can dowload a sample SMTP authentication script from

you would need to find out what smtp server your host offers and use that to send your email

[safeacid]

yeah see below code

http://edinburgh.theukhost.net/smtp.txt

I am not sure how to use it

[Illori]

you will need to ask your host for smtp server url and the username and password needed if you can not find it in the package they provided.

[safeacid]

suppose I know the usrername and password what to do with this code what they had provided ?

[Illori]

that code will not be used, but you need to get the server from them so you can add it to the admin panel of smf so it can continue to send email.

[safeacid]

[Illori]

admin -> mail -> settings
