My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi,

I have been playing around with you software a bit as I'll probably be starting to use it when I purchase hosting services from LunarPages. However, I keep getting the following error message when trying to send email messages from your program:

"Sorry, the email with the link to validate and activate your password could not be sent.
Possible reason: the PHP mail() function may have been disabled on the server."

I was trying to use gmail as my smtp server for my testing purposes. I went and did some research and since gmail.smtp.com requires authentication the PHP mail function doesn't work. Writing my own PHP code and utilizing PHPMailer I was successfully able to get an email sent with PHP.

So, my question is, have you thought about incorporating PHPMailer or something similiar into your codebase to allow emails to be sent through servers that require authentication? This would also require these setting to be entered somewhere in your admin page.

The link to PHPMailer is:
