I'm using this service from dyndns since I have problem setting up Mercury.
Also I'm using cslh livehelp.
To send email, I have to amend the php.ini. I got the host right but I have also to login and authenticate. I've use auth_username=username and auth_password=mypassword but my service at dyndns does not recognise it and I get error message stating that. Hope someone can help me. I will really appreciate that.

Where did you use "auth_username" and "auth_password"?
and I get error message stating that.
Which error message? In your browser? In your log file?

line659 in c:\..\apache\bin\php.ini
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
so what I did was change it to:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = outbound.mailhop.org
smtp_port = 25
auth_username=my_username
auth_password=my_password
and the error I get is, when I tried the cslh livehelp, and the client user tried to obtain the transcript of the conversation by giving his email and sending it, on my end, I see the error on the browser, stating authentication error.
That was a while back when I tried it. I hope I have mention as clearly as possible. It is still not working.
Tried mercury mail, but I get mail loop, sending mail nonstop.
Anyway, I've paid for the service at dyndns and might as well use it.
Thanks for your reply.

I use this in my php.ini
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = outbound.mailhop.org
smtp_port = 25
Auth_username=myusername
Auth_Password=mypassword
and this is what I get from the feedback from contact form from cslh livehelp
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 You must
authenticate to use MailHop Outbound in C:\web\xampp\htdocs\livehelp\functions.php on line 1178
obviously my username is not getting thru.
The php.ini modified was from c:\web\xampp\apache\bin
Hope someone can help me here

There is no option "Auth_username" and "Auth_Password" in "php.ini".
--> PHP can not use SMTP_Auth throught the mail function.
