Hello guys, I'm trying to configure phpbb3 for sending e-mails. Can I use mail() function or is it disabled? Apart from that, I have tried to use a gmail account but I have not been able to. I have used:

smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
authentication: login

thanks a lot!

Does any of you have email sends configure using a free account?

Email sending / outgoing connections are not allowed on Zymic host, there is no way to get outgoing / incoming mail working upon the host.

You can get it working if you use an external SMTP server. You probably will have to declare the server name/port and username/password for the SMTP server before sending any messages.

That won't work either since outgoing connections to other sites (including IP addresses such as a mail server) are disabled. There is no way to get this working on Zymic ATM.
