Using RoundCube with 1and1

[guardian-mage]

I have a hosting account with 1and1.com and I am using RoundCube for one of my customers. It will check my email fine, but I cannot send any, I get errors.

The screen says "Failed To send message"
The log file says "[20-Dec-2007 07:23:49 -0500] SMTP Error: SMTP error: Connection failed: Failed to connect socket: in /homepages/19/d210753377/htdocs/cdlandscaping/mail/program/steps/mail/sendmail.inc on line 334"

I believe it is a problem with my config file:
http://mail.cdlandscaping.biz/main.inc.php.txt

sorry to leach onto your post, but I am in the same boat.

do you use ssl in your smtp connection?
thats one problem I had with the new version (not on rc1 and rc2)

Same here, but I can't even seem to get it to connect to my database...any ideas?

And I can't access your configuration file.

Btw, before the next person me-too's. Please check your config. E.g. not being able to connect to a database - well it can have multiple reasons - e.g. wrong DSN string, wrong credentials (username, password, host). You need to supply all that info and double-check before you ask for help.

That's what the installer is for!

Hey guardian, greg, and abisconti,
I've hosted a few Roundcube installations on 1and1 for various purposes, and I haven't ever had a problem using PHP's mail() function to send mail. It's a bit faster than SMTP.
On the other hand, the latest version says that the server fails the socket check, and in that may lie your problem. See http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=2838.0 for more help there. It shouldn't be an issue, but may be a problem if you're attempting SSL connections.
