Sendmail settings for database mail admin

[russgri]

Mail settings are not my strong suit....what is?...but I need some newbie help with mail settings for a cms.

On Dathorn's server cpanel22...
My administrative email for this cms is:
admin@mydomain.com
username: russ123
passworld: [PASSWORD REMOVED]


Are the settings below correct?

// Mail settings
// text|html
$mailFormat= 'text';
//mail|sendmail|smtp
$mailType= 'smtp';
$smtpHost= 'mail.mydomain.com';
$smtpPort= '25';
$smtpAuth= '1';
$smtpUser= 'russ123';
$smtpPassword= '[PASSWORD REMOVED]';
$smPath= '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

Thankee kindly...

I edited your post, including passwords is a very very very bad idea.

If i'm getting this right, your username should be admin+mydomain.com NOT russ123. try that and your password.

Generally speaking though, its probably best to not use SMTP and use sendmail, so you may want to change that option.
