I use the WSN Guestbook since a few days. I have set the registration-type to "E-Mail Activation Code". I am unfortunately a beginner in PHP (and in english ;-) , i hope that you can excuse me for this).
Can anyone explain to me how the email-sending works? Which settings do i have to make?
I have set the "administrator e-mail" in the admin-zone, but no mails are sent to the users which want to register for the guestbook.
It is possible to send the mails via SMTP? My eMail-adress is not at the webserver where the guestbook is installed.
Is there any possibility to send the notifications to users and the admin via my adress (@googlemail.com)?
Do you know a reason for the malfunction of email-sending ?
I would be glad of a response to my post!
(WSN --> I had to pay you a compliment for this great guestbook! It's really good!)
Email uses the PHP mail function: http://www.php.net/mail . You should be able to send from any address by specifying that as the administrative address in the admin panel.
A few web hosts require a -f parameter for the mail function. The other WSN scripts have an option for this but WSN Guest is a few years old and doesn't (if anyone would like to take over developing it, I encourage that and will link WSN Guest users to your site -- there's no market of people interested in paying for guestbooks though so I don't expect to develop it significantly further myself). You'd have to go through and tack on a fifth parameter "-fyou@googlemail.com" for each place the mail function is called.
