[MRBS-general] can't get email function to work.....

[David S. B. <DAB...@ri...>]

Hi all,
 
I've asked this before and got no resolution and so am asking again
hoping that a 'new' member of the list may have come across this issue:
 
My problem was/is that I can't get the email function to work in with
my mrbs (I've tried on a new install as well as existing).  I actually
asked a few other institutions locally that were using MRBS and none of
those could get it to work and weren't that bothered, so we released
mrbs also without it working. our staff feedback however had indicated
that it would be more effective if we got it to work.
 
here are some config settings and my installation particulars (WAMP)
 
windows 2003 Server (enterprise edition)
Apache 2.0
php 4.4.0
our mail server is a Novell Groupwise server and we use smtp for mail
 
I can actually send mail from our webserver as I have some php
functions on our website that require mail to be sent (using php's
mail() function)
 
I'm using ldap for authentication also
 
config.inc.php settings:

define ("MAIL_ADMIN_ON_BOOKINGS", TRUE);
 
define ("MAIL_AREA_ADMIN_ON_BOOKINGS", TRUE);
 
define ("MAIL_ROOM_ADMIN_ON_BOOKINGS", TRUE);

define ("MAIL_ADMIN_ON_DELETE", TRUE);
 

define ("MAIL_ADMIN_ALL", TRUE);

define ("MAIL_DETAILS", TRUE);
 
define ("MAIL_BOOKER", FALSE);

define ("MAIL_DOMAIN", '@riverview.nsw.edu.au');
 
define ("MAIL_USERNAME_SUFFIX", '');
 
define ("MAIL_ADMIN_BACKEND", "smtp");

$mail["subject"] = "Entry added/changed for $mrbs_company MRBS";
 
$mail["subject_delete"] = "Entry deleted for $mrbs_company MRBS";
 
$mail["new_entry"] = "A new entry has been booked, here are the
details:";
 
$mail["changed_entry"] = "An entry has been modified, here are the
details:";
 
$mail["deleted_entry"] = "An entry has been deleted, here are the
details:";
 
thanks for any help you can give....
