Hi -
I'm using 2.0 - I did fill out the notification setting in pfsense. and it did send out a test message?

Thanks

Ok…...I was doing some reading mail() function does not do smtp authencation. but thats what I need to do. I did read that Pear::MAIL
has smtp auth. is there a right way to do it in pfsense

SAMPLE

$host = "mail.example.com";
$username = "smtp_username";
$password = "smtp_password";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

I also saw pfsense has a function called file_notice('test, 'test message');

can i use this someway

Well,
When I installed pfSense 2.0, it was asking about some smtp setup.
I received a mail from it when done.

This is a test message from pfSense. It is safe to ignore this message.

So, I tend to say: yes.

jleipert

Yeah - I know the test email works.
But I'm trying to create a custom user request form that will email to the "admin" but it needs to be smtp auth.

Gertjan

The mail message I was talking about above, was send with this setup:

This means that authentication by submission - sending mail on port 587 - with user name and password, is fully supported by pfSense.

The only limit is you and your PHP form ;)

Btw: for all the mail possibilities, look in
/etc/inc/notices.inc (take a look at lines 286 -> 332)
/etc/inc/smtp.inc
/etc/inc/sasl.inc
and more, if needed.

Thanks! haha
I'll look in that direction!
