Hi everybody. In Italy we have a particular type of email address called P.E.C. (email certified) that we use to send and receive with other PEC for legal reasons. Many people in Italy must use it. I want that people who wants to register in my site use a PEC email address.
But the registration page of Community Builder doesn't permit this. It only accepts "normal" email address.
The base registration module of Joomla works with PEC, setting mail function on SMTP but in the this way CB stops working with normal email address too. On SMTP Community Builder Enhanced works fine too but I have serious problems using CBE and would use CB.
Do you know if CB has some particular problems working with SMTP email Joomla function? Do you have any ideas about how to make CB work with Italian PEC email address?

Thank you very much.

Why Community Builder doesn't work with Joomla SMTP while base component "user" and Community Builder Enhanced too work fine?

Thanx

Hi Crileon. Thank you very much for reply.
I can't speak a good english but I will try, sorry.

I'm using CB 1.3

In PHPmail modality CB 1.3 works with normal email address and don't work with PEC address.
The base user component of joomla doesn't work with PEC in PHPmail too, but if I set on SMTP it works. Community Builder Enhanced works too, with PEC address in SMTP, but gives me other big problems and I don't want to use CBE.

I've just added port value at the end of the previous SMTPhost value but Community Builder still doesn't work with ANY email address even if I did more attempts.
Here are my SMTP settings:

Mailer: server SMTP
Mail from: my PEC mail address
Name: my PEC mail address
Path sendmail: I think it is not important!
Auth SMTP: Yes
Security SMTP: SSL
Port SMTP: 465 (or 25 "default" if I leave empty)
User SMTP: my PEC mail address
Password SMTP: my PEC mail address password
Host SMTP: smtps.pec.aruba.it:465 (or .465)


About PEC I can tell you that it is an email system that is more secure and safe respect to normal email system. So you can use PEC to communicate with other PECs (i.e. with state offices) and this communication has legal value such as FAX communication or traditional mail. I will search for you some English document to understand what PEC is.

I found this text (pdf) that is an unofficial translation of the Italian law on P.E.C. (Posta Elettronica Certificata - Certified Electronic Mail). I hope this could be of some utilities... Thanx

Good afternoon. I think my problem is inside the question of CB + SMTP.
My CB can't send mails and notification to me and to new users if my joomla site has SMTP configured. I read previous discussions on this forum and made the modifications in joomla mail configuration but still doesn't work.
My SMTP settings anyway should be ok 'cause registration made by CBE or base component works.
I don't think that is a problem of Italian PEC addresses.
