That should do it. Try changing your password to be sure it worked. It’s not as nice as a plugin, and you will have to remember to redo it any time you upgrade TextPattern, but it is a pretty easy fix.

I was happy to read about this solution since I’m also at WebFaction and this SMTP authentication thing kept me from installing TXP on my hosting account.

But: After following these instructions (and editing my smtp details in pearmail.php) emails are not getting sent. When changing my passport as suggested after a short delay I get the message Password changed and mailed to… but no email is being sent.

Did I miss something?

Edit: Ok, I just have to be a little more patient. After a while I got the mails. I guess there is some delay with Gmail today.

So, thanks very much for these instructions! Thank you!

Re: Textpattern SMTP plugin?

Glad it helped :)

One further note: I discovered that in order to use either the zem_contact_reborn or the postmaster plugins (and other, too, I’m sure) you have to edit their code to use the same smtp() function rather than mail(). Just copy the full code of the plugin to a decent text editor and do a search for “mail(“. You will have to also include pearmail.php at the top of the functions that use mail().

Good to know! Thanks!

Re: Textpattern SMTP plugin?

Hello, could you help me figure out where to put the line include_once('pearmail.php');?

It does not make sense to put it on line #931 anymore.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Textpattern SMTP plugin?

I figured out how to edit the txplib_misc.php, from this forum post http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?pid=18518#p18518

It is somewhere around line 1039 and 1096 that you need to make the change.

I tried entering the SMTP envelope sender address but I could still not receive any emails until I hacked the txplib_misc.php file.
