I was struggling with this just this week, but found instead I could
use another SMTP server that was more suited to this kind of email.
I made these changes:<br>
<br>
Edit: /usr/share/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/SystemSettings.pm<br>
<br>
'smtp_server' => '<b>my.smtp.server</b>',<br>
<br>
Edit: /usr/share/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Email.pm<br>
<br>
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $smtphost<b>, </b><b>Hello =>
'my.eprints.domain' </b>);<br>
(which is the bit just before where you put your username and
password, I'm afraid I don't have line numbers to hand)<br>
<br>
Not sure that will help in your case, but it worked for me.<br>

I have EPrints v3.3.12 running in Ubuntu server 10.04.<br>
<br>
Everything seems to be working but email. Am I able to specify
port, username and password for smtp authentication anywhere in
the EPrints configuration files?<br>
<br>
I can't figure out how to get an smtp server running on my own
VPS, so I have opened an account on mandrill.com to be able to use
their smtp server, but I need to pass on username and password and
connect through port 587.<br>
<br>
I've searched a bit and tried fiddling with some hack suggested
for EPrints 2, but without luck. What I have tried:<br>
<br>
<b>'smtp_server' => 'smtp.mandrillapp.com:587',</b><br>
<br>
in "/usr/share/eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/SystemSettings.pm"<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
<b>$smtp->auth( 'username','password' );</b><br>
<br>
on line 167 of "/usr/share/eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/Email.pm" (Of
course with the real username and passwords)<br>
<br>
I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere before, I've found
several people with the problem, but none with the solution.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance!<br>
