Mail Error!

SMTP protocol failure!
Host: mail.914world.com
Return Code: 500
Return Msg: 500 failed authentication
Invision Power Board Error: Username not accepted from the server
Check your SMTP settings from the admin control panel

That happens when someone has subscribed to a thread and their mail server is unavailabe for some reason. That bug was fixed in later versions of Invision Power Board.

I just got the same message when replying to a PM. I tryed it twice.

same thing happen to me when trying to post in the classifieds.

edit: My ad showed up in the classifieds

yupp, what he ^^^ said ...

someone has subscribed to the forum or thread you were trying to post in using a invalid email address or their mail server is temporarily unavailable.

In my case I was replying to a PM from a admin. I guess his IP is dead?

Hey! Ya, I just got that message too when posting a new topic. Topic is posted though

Me too.

alright, here's a list of everyone who currently has subscribed to the main forum (the garage) ...

one of you guys has a problem with their mail account or mail server!

please check and make sure your mail server is working properly ...

Maybe it is the San Mateo Police??

Had the same problem here when posting a new topic.

me too when posting to the Garage and trying to PM or EM another member.

Thats why I inadvertantly posted the same topic 5 times.

ok, i did a quick & dirty fix ...

simply made the BBS eat the error message!
the problem is still there, but now you won't be told by the BBS anymore.

happy?
Andy

Check the plug wires. NO ... wait...

Uh - looks from the message like the problem is with mail.914world.com, not with anybody else's server...?

I got the same message when I tried to respond to a PM.

nope, we had that before ...

malformed email addy from one of the members (or missing altogether) will cause the mail server to hick up.
but *only* if that person (the one with the crappy email) has subscribed to a thread or forum ...

anywho, anyone still getting the error or did i "fix" it ???
