Subject: Atutor SMTP mail configurationQuote this post in your reply
Running Atutor on a Windows 2000 server - all appears OK except when testing the forgotton password option -

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 Bad address syntax in C:\ATutor\include\lib\atutor_mail.inc.php on line 29

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\ATutor\include\lib\atutor_mail.inc.php:29) in C:\ATutor\include\basic_html\header.php on line 15

Its not obvious what needs to be modified - any thoughts would be appreciated

Are you able to send course emails, approve instructor accounts, or contact the instructor/administrator using the email form in the Help section?

What version of ATutor are you using?

Yes, internal email is working correctly

Atutor version is 1.2.1

All the best

Hard to say what the problem is if other ATutor mail functions are working. They all use the same mail include script.

Does the problem occur everytime you try to retrieve a password? Experiment with variations of email addresses.

There is a whitespace at the end of the atutor_mail.inc.php file you might try removing, though I would expect this to fail for other mail functions as well if it were the problem.

Subject: the same problem with password reminderQuote this post in your reply
when I try to use the password reminder I get the same error

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 553 5.1.3 bad address syntax: in D:\Programmi\atutor\atutor\include\lib\atutor_mail.inc.php on line 29

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Programmi\atutor\atutor\include\lib\atutor_mail.inc.php:29) in D:\Programmi\atutor\atutor\include\basic_html\header.php on line 15


could it be I wrongly set the SMTP server using the external SMTP mail server or maybe shall I set the IIS virtual SMTP server ?

any suggestion is welcome

Subject: Whitespace?Quote this post in your reply
Did you try removing any whitespaces as indicated in the previous message in this thread.

When you edit files with Windows, it sticks invisible characters at the end of file that PHP does not like. Set your editor to use Unix end of lines instead of Windows EOLs.
