Hi Inc,
Yes, I already tried that yesterday, but it didn't work
At least I tried the SMTP server of kvcd.net and also my ADSL SMTP server. I guess they are configured for local host sending, and don't work from a remote host. As a matter of fact, I was searching for a "free" SMTP server somewhere, that I could use in the mean time, but I didn't find one.
And that's what I was going to continue doing today
I also have another way to do it, but it's my own hack, and I don't have too much time to do it. That is to modify the emailer.php file to write the notifications to a file, and then I "poll" via http that file (my own way, old bag of tricks
) and I read that file remotely and send the E-Mails locally from local ANY machine I want. This way I can "pull" the messages from the server, with a simple PHP file locking (to avoid writing when I'm polling the file). But it requires some mods to the emailer.php file, and I cant do it right now. Maybe I should do it anyway when I have some time, and then implement it. This way, I would never need the SMTP server from ANY provider, because I can get the messages via http, which EVERY provider must have on. Else, nobody could browse the site
(There are more ways to skin a cat
)

As I assume you already did an exchange of that emailer.php file...
But maybe your provider just did some re-hirarchical ordering on his server that the emailer.php just have to be modded in some server-file-system refering lines or something else.

The provider acknowledged the problem via E-Mail, and they are "supposedly" working on the problem
