Sadly my knowledge of programming is extremely limited so I wouldn't even know where to start of creating my own addon for CB for tihs to work! I was just enquiring if SMTP mail was an option that I had somehow already overlooked or if anyone else knew how to tell CB to use the J! mail settings...

I believe CB supports SMTP, but not the additional modifications you've made to your Joomla core. These changes are likely causing an issue between the two. Try SMTP without the changes to see if it functions properly.

Sadly - again!! - the SMTP server I am using requires an SSL connection and this isn't included in the Joomla core as standard yet. From what I gather the hack I've added only adds the cosmetic changes to the settings form in the admin panel and adds the extra checks to the phpmailer.php and smtp.php.

Can you reccommend any other free mailserver I can use that doesn't use SSL?

At this point I'd also like to thank you for your speedy help to date.

Not that I know of.

Should be able to just use PHP Mailer function just fine. Pretty much every web host supports it.

You can show a great deal of thanks by joining me and many others as a documents subscriber. You'll also find much more incite into many features presented with community builder in the documents. ;)

As I host the site myself I dont seem to support it as I've tried the phpmailer quite a few times!

As for subscribing - I'll have to wait until after christmas before I go spending on luxuries - kids are very expensive things!!! :P

Aaa, yes most install packages for self hosting servers don't have phpmailer setup already. Do a google for "install phpmailer YOURSERVERPACKAGE". You should be able to easily find some instructions to get it up and going.

Indeed they are. Got 2 little ones of my own. Seams like that Christmas list just grows and grows every year, lol.

However be careful as generally security is a huge concern when hosting by your self and allowing phpmailer. As it leaves room for injection hacking.
