Topic: Question: WP-EMail plugin port used

[Ryan Smythe]

Through this forum I've gathered that the default port configured by WP-Email is Port 25. We are hosting this site with GoDaddy and they require port 80 for email.

Is it possible to change the port used with this plugin? I can't change it through WP as an admin correct?

1. WordPress Version - 2.8.3
2. Theme Name - WP-PortalTheme 2.1 by Portal Labs, LLC
3. Blog URL - http://www.beavers2beaverton.com
4. Problem Plugin Name And Version - WP-EMail Version 2.50
5. PHP And MYSQL Version - PHP 5.x, MySQL 5.0
6. Possible Conflicting Plugins (Optional) - none known

Port 25 is used if you using SMTP to send the email. You can use PHP or Sendmail to send instead. Change that in WP-Admin -> EMail -> EMail Options

Thanks Lester.

I've sent email through the form with the following combination of settings. I never removed the SMTP user name or password.

Do you have any other ideas?

If you want to use SMTP with Port 80, do the following in wp-emai.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

$mail->Host     = $email_smtp['server'];Add Below it:

Code: [Select]

$mail->Port = 80;
And then choose SMTP.

If you still does not get the email, I really have no idea, if the script said it is sent it is more likely a server issue with sending/receiving the email.
