Hello.

Already searched the forum, but didn't find an answer.

Can someone explain the different settings of the email plugin ?

Mainly - I want to be able to send email using my ISP's SMTP server, but want the mail to appear to arrive from a specific address I'm trying to set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Some hosts refuse for you to send it from another domain, also, some hosts refuse to accept mail from IP addresses that when you do a reverse look up on doesn't equal the IP address of the host they're claiming to be.

Is there a way I can use GMail to do the trick ?

Why not just send it from the account that you own? Instead of spoofing someone else's?

Ive set up my plugins (SABnzbd, CouchPotato) to appear to arrive from <AppName>@<MyDynamicDNS>.

this way I can easly filter them out and have a quick look at how are things.

Strangly enough - both of the plugins are using my ISP's SMTP to do that, but I wasn't successful in setting up the email plugin to do the same

Oh, if that's happening (Already works), then you're setting it up wrong, hard to tell what you're setting up wrong because I don't have access to your sab/simple configuration files, also, that stuff has private information so...

I've got the following at my SABnzbd settings (working):

SMTP Server - my ISP SMTP server (no port defined)

Email recipient - my own GMail

Email Sender - SABnzbd@<My Dynamic DNS>

OPTIONAL Account Username - my ISP username

OPTIONAL Account Password - my ISP password

 

Now all I have to find is how to put the same details in the email plugin settings and make it work

I presume, in simple features, you'd do something like:-

 

 

Just a guess however, if it doesn't work, try enabling debugging and see what that says.

I'll try it and report back l8r :-)

Also, if that sends an email but it sends from your real address, change "Account email address" to be something else.
