Error While Posting

**Taio** · 2006-01-03, 03:06 PM (ISO 8601)

While I posting in the Play-by-Post forum, I recieved the following error:

Net::SMTP fatal error: unable to create Net::SMTP object localhost. at (eval 1) line 3.

I am not aware of what it means, but I believe the coders of the site will find it useful in fixing the problem quickly and efficently.

I encountered this error while posting on the following page:

If there is any other information I can provide to help you with this problem, please do not hesitate to ask.

I got the same error, in case that helps. The post still goes through, by the way.

I got the same error too, don't remember what thread it was on. I know SMTP means 'Simple Mail Transfer Protocol", but that's only used for E-Mail (as far as I know, I could be totally wrong ;)), so I dunno what it means...

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, used for sending emails. I guess something went wrong with "Notify me of replies".

P.S. I also received this error a few times.

Addendum: I also noticed email notifications are taking a while to come through for PMs.

But I don't use that feature, so... ???

if anyone has set the thread to notify them of replies, any update to that thread triggers the mailer module.

Oh right... you got any idea what's wrong?
