Forum Email headache

[محروم.كوم]

Ok first of all let me say that I am a complete newb when it comes to managing forums and websites - so anything you suggest assume I am at the lowest level of understanding. Alot of the solutions offered on these forums assume a base level of understanding that I don't have.

ANYWAY...

I have jsut installed a Vbulletin website on my goddaddy hosted website. Everything installed fine, I imported the users from my PHPBB forum over all fine.

I have set the user groups and permissions etc to be what I need.

I canot for the life of me figure out how to set up the email so that the forum will send out emails for things like reseting passwords/paid subscriptions etc.

I have tried several methods.

Using the php sendmail which comes up with the following error

"SMTP: relay-hosting.secureserver.net
sendmail_from: [email protected]
sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Help Results
The mailing function returned an error while trying to send the mail.
Check your mail server to ensure it is configured correctly to allow PHP to send mail from it. You should also check your mail server's error log for more diagnostic information.

And I have also tried using my gmail and relay-hosting.secureserver.net SMTP settings and get this error



Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection timed out) in [path]/includes/class_mail.php on line 637

Warning: Unable to connect to SMTP server in [path]/includes/class_mail.php on line 603

I have tried various port settings aswell as turning SSL/TLS on and off

I have also contacted GODADDY and asked about their side of things and they can offer no solutions. The shared server I am on should be able to send emails without issue.

PLEASE HELP as I have hundreds of users that I have moved over from PHPBB and they cant login because they need to reset their passwords.

I have scoured the forums and internet in general and cant seem to find a solution - thanks in advance for any assistance you maybe able to give
