There is an issue with the smtp transport in eZ4.0
<i>Due to a bug in eZ Publish 4.0.0, you need to download the updated version of the "ezsmtp" class and replace the corresponding file in your installation in order to use an SMTP relay server for mail delivery. This bug will be fixed in the upcoming eZ Publish 4.0.1 release.</i>
I have a similar problem that persists after having downloaded the new ezsmtp.php file. I want to use the smtp transport method and the rest would really have been straightforward, I thought...
I know that eZ Publish generates a mail; (at least it wrote a mail file in /var/log/mail when I changed the Transport setting to File). When I change that back to smtp I get no error message and still no delivered e-mail.
If eZ Publish for some reason can't connect to the smtp server, would it then write an error log entry in /var/log ? Or just drop it?
