SMTP email sending

Is anyone using the smtp options for email sending?

The event log is logging a series of 5 errors that I am unable to work out what is going on. The email appears to send. Though I do have a problem with a shopping cart where the contact and webmaster emails are getting through despite the customer one getting through.

The errors are:
Error No: 8
Description: Only variable references should be returned by reference

Looking through the mimemail files I can't see why they would fail.

None of my stores are using this option so I haven't come across the error, sorry.

You might've typoed above, which emails are and aren't getting through? (you currently say that all are but I suspect there's a missing "not").

HTTP_SERVER_VARS is deprecated, so my guess is your version of PHP has given up support for this. HTML Mimemail is ancient, and I'm fairly sure it's unsupported.

So it's probably a relatively simple exercise to fix the bugs in the Jojo copy of HTML Mime Mail - without having to worry about breaking the upgrade path. Otherwise look at replacing it with something newer.

Thanks for the replies. To clarify all the emails are being sent. It appears though that the ones out of the cart were trigging highish (8) anti spam scores so that is why they weren't getting through.

Was aware of the HTTP_SERVER_VARS being depreciated (thanks Harvey) so thinking that it is all related to that.

I'll see how hard it is to fix the Jojo version but I'm leaning towards perhaps using something like Swiftmailer due to it's plugin architecture and already built and fully supported Throttler Plugin. I've used it a little recently and is very cool. Perhaps I'll use it as a plugin?
