I've just installed phpBT 1.0, and have setup a user account fine, now when one of the guys in the dev team tries to get his password e-mailed to him, nothing happens. The server that phpBT is installed on does not have any mail facilities, so I went and changed the stuff in bug.php to use the external server fine, but sending password's is not working.
Anyone know of a way to get this to work?
Any chance of getting a feature added that stores the smtp details in the config file? I'm using phpBB on the server and it can send mail fine from the other server.
Any and all help is greatly apprieciated

I forgot to meantion that the server is Linux (Fedora Core 4 I think from the error messages) and it's got the latest versions of PHP and Apache installed. I do not have access to the server to install any smtp software, and the box owner refuses to install it, spam and all that...

Yes, there are plans to make the email a bit more configurable. Currently, if you are on a unix-type box it will only be able to use the local mailer. The new email code should show up in the next release.
As for spam concerns, the admin can install exim4, which is lightweight and can be configured to only listen to localhost.

Yes, I think replacing the mail call with a call to htmlmimemail is the way to go. I don't know yet about the envelope stuff, but at first blush I don't see a reason why not to include those changes.

Benjamin,
This new email code.. Is it (based on) my smtp patch from June?

I never got any feedback from testers, nor any comments on whether it is good or bad to alter htmlMimeMail as well.
