MyHosting Cubecart Mail() SMTP auto email not working

[liquidwebco]

Regarding CUBECART built-in mail function. This has been an issue for YEARS...

I found the solution to the issue and appearantly it is only with myhosting.com servers. So if someone has an account with myhosting, they will NOT be able to use their mail() function or smtp function to send mail through myhosting.com's servers. I will attach the smtp file (fix) I am using with one line of minor modification for anyone else who may run into this problem who is using myhosting.com services. This is a fix for v3 and v4.

Basically, you can only use mail option SMTP with myhosting.com with this edited version of the SMTP file included. The basic installation smtp file will NOT WORK- It must be modified for the automatic mail function to work. You must use smtp mail setting under general settings, select "yes" user requires authentication and put in the credentials for admin@whateverdomain.com

I had a lot of trouble with this and previous versions... I hope this can help other people who run into a similar situation.

Solution Replace the file under WebRoot\classes\smpt.php for Version 3
Webroot\classes\htmlMimeMail\smtp.php Version 4

the smtp.php file is corrupt and throws a fatal error on the server, anyone have a good version of the fixed smtp.php file, ppppleassse

I figured it out! For those of you receiving file.php (I'm on a mac) download linked file as smtp.zip then unzip it. I was getting file.php, change it to smtp.zip before downloading it, then all will go as planned! :lol:

Call me confused... But I don't know where to download the file you are referring to. Where is it downloadable from?

I've attached the original file from this post, in case anyone is looking for it. You'll need to change the filename from smtp.txt to smtp.php.

We did some more investigation and found that it works much better with the following line removed:

if (!defined('CC_INI_SET')) die("Access Denied");

Attached is the most up-to-date version.
