    Hello,

    i'm glad to having successfully installed SVNManager. Now i'm in a test phase, looking around for all the features of this tool. I ran into a problem with invitations. After inviting a user, the screen (browser) freezes for a while. Then i get the message 'Something went wrong sending email, please contact server administrator!'.

    I'm wondering that only one parameter $smtp_server in config.php could do all the job? I tried to use a SMTP server outside the server of my SVNManager installaton.

    Does anybody know how to setup this correct?

    Many thanks!

      Hi everyone!

      Has anybody been able to use mailing invitations correctly? I haven't been able to test it, because the smtp of my internet service provider doesn't allow relaying..

      This could be your problem too: e.g. the mail server mail.domain.org doesn't allow to send emails from svnmanager@svn.domain.org.

      Kind regards,
      Marijn

        Yes, at my previous employer where Subversion and SVNManager was running on a Windows Server 2003, and here at my current employer where I have everything on an Ubuntu box (Linux 2.6.17-12).
        In both instances, the SMTP server was our main server for the domain, and the SMTP mail servers were MS Exchange servers that allowed relaying from the "intranet" set of IP addresses.

      Thank you for your responds!

      In other words, one has to use a smtp server acting as a relay to use this feature?
