As per the manual I took a look at how to work around the php mail problem using swift.
http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=14205

However it seems a little confusing as it has some old code on there and the version of swift is outdated.

It also says to replace some code starting on line 1565 but the code doesnt look anything like the provided fix? I have no idea where to start it and what to replace?

Anyway I thought I would try this forum one more time to see if there are any other suggestions. I prefer B2Evo over WPMU but if I cant get this mail problem solved the whole program is pretty much useless.

Thanks

The mail function is usually disabled on free hostings, isn't it easier to move to a paid one and enjoy all the features for just $3/month?

Actually its paid hosting and a lot more than 3 dollars a month

My host suggested using php code something like this:

Add the following code to the top of your email script if your mail script continues to fail.

// Please specify your Mail Server - Example: mail.yourdomain.com.
ini_set("SMTP","mail.YourDomain.com");

// Please specify an SMTP Number 25 and 8889 are valid SMTP Ports.
ini_set("smtp_port","25");

// Please specify the return address to use
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'ValidEmailAccount@YourDomain.com');

however I have no idea if it will work or where to put it. I found a getmail.php in the cron directory but thats as close as I can get. If someone could point me in the general direction I could probably work it out?
Thanks

This might work, but you should consider switching to a better (and cheaper) hosting. You'll save time and headache in the future
