SMTP authentication

I have found an issue but i do not know how to fix it.

How do i get the system to send the password when it goes to my mail server to authenticate via smtp as a user?.  This is a windows box and not using sendmail.

Example: client goes to site and request email, I have server set so that any email needs to come from an authenticated user. So dolphin tries to send the email from my server but it doesnt provide the password to the server so it can actually send.Yes the sending email is from my domain and works when this setting is turned off on my mail server

"SENT: 530 SMTP authentication is required." show in my logs. This is correct on my mail servers part,if i turn it off having to authenticate (which no one in the right mind would lol) everything is fine and dandy and all emails send.  So the issue is how to get dolphin to send password to smtp when its sending email.  In joomla there are actualy these fields to fill in, am i missing where these are in Dolhin?

Thanks

php.ini:

[mail function]
; For Win32 Only.
Smtp =
smtp_port = 25
username =
password =

thanks. Thats what i was going to do but wasnt sure on the syntax. Trying now

If you're running PHP as an Apache module, the configuration directives reside in memory until a new Apache process has been started.  If you're running IIS i'm not sure if you need an iis restart or not.  Haven't run php on windows in ages.

using apache,didnt work, still isnt actualy sending the info. hmmmmm

did you restart apache?

yeah, restarted apache and mysql and mail server. I can still see the email isnt sending the user and pass period. Is there a php file somwhere i have to edit that actual forms the email?

not that i'm aware of.  same error in maillog?

yeah same error, if i use  joomla you can actually see joomla providing this to the server in the mail logs as its in the backend settings of joomla

smtp user

pass

etc

In Dolphin theres no where to enter thi

you are correct there is no file for setting the smtp. what i think has happened and i have seen it on other scripts, is that your server is setup to refuse mail from nobody, meaning that because this script sends out mail as nobody on the server, it will not send. i have had issues with this on other scripts, because i dont really like mail going out from basically the server, not bound to any user account. setup google apps, change your MX records on the server to try to route your mail through gmail servers and see if that can get you any where?

yeah thats what im saying, i can do that. So the cms simply wasnt designed with this in mind? I dont know many servers that will let you send out mail from someone who is not authorized. Bassicaly a server with the required settings is a open relay just waiting for spammer
