Okay, so I'm working on another project where I've set up a FreeBSD system on one of my older computers. I've set up Apache, PHP, mySQL, and myPHPadmin on the box and tested a few PHP scripts from hotscripts.com
The box is running on a local IP address of 192.168.1.77 as hostname "freebsd" and my router is set to forward it any incoming connections to port 80.
One of the scripts I am trying to install requires an SMTP server so in the config files I set it as:
$email_server = 'outgoing.verizon.net'; // What mail server (an FQDN DNS name) should emails be sent from?
However, this doesn't seem to work and I'm wondering if I need to setup my own SMTP on the box itself, or do I need to install something such as mail/ssmtp to get it to work?
Telnet into the SMTP server on port 25 is successful.
Code:
freebsd# telnet outgoing.verizon.net 25
Trying 206.46.232.12...
Connected to outgoing.verizon.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 vms173021pub.verizon.net -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 32bit (built Apr 16 2009))
The script I am trying to install is called BlackNova Traders and can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blacknova/
Thanks.
