SMTP Yahoo Hosting and Email Issues - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


i have been testing installation of joomla 1.0.8 on yahoo hosting package.  installation process straight forward , painless.  here have found in regards using email forms.

in general:

smtp: have not been able smtp setting work joomla.  smpt setting on desktop client work fine.

php mail: 
1.- contact email address must within domain.  can set @ modules>contacts>manage contacts.
2.- must have php mailer setup correct in yahoo hosting.
3.- when ever email form filled, "from email" field must within own domain.  otherwise yahoo not send email.
4.- yahoo has limit of 250 emails sent outside domain per day(outgoing emails).  once 250 count reached, yahoo disregards emails.

has being able successfuly use smtp in yahoo hositing?  if hear comments.

utilizing smtp, think wuould eliminate 250 emails per day count issue.  other issues addresses can resolved modifications code.


hope hear comments soon.

sandro.

sorry, not answer looking for: quit such restrictive hosting provider.

3.- when ever email form filled, "from email" field must within own domain.  otherwise yahoo not send email.
does mean cannot use tell-a-friend option? ("from" visitor uses tell-a-friend, isn't it?)

besides smtp & php mail, there's "sendmail" option. have tried 1 too?
