Yes its me again Rolling Eyes

When my users sign up thay are not receiving their passwords. I went into config.ini and found the mail settings I have it setup as follows.

// To send email from Geeklog, you will need to select one of the following
// email backends:
// - 'mail', i.e. use PHP's built-in mail() function
// - 'sendmail', i.e. use the sendmail utility
// - 'smtp', i.e. talk directly to your SMTP server
// The default is 'mail' and will work in most environments.

$_CONF['mail_settings'] = array (
'backend' => 'smtp', // can be one of 'mail', 'sendmail', 'smtp'

// sendmail parameters (for 'backend' => 'sendmail')
'sendmail_path' => '/usr/bin/sendmail',
'sendmail_args' => '',

// SMTP parameters (for 'backend' => 'smtp')
'host' => 'mail.swiftel.com.au',
'port' => '25',
'auth' => true,
'username' => '********',
'password' => '********'

I run norton anti virus and it scans the email and I see it leaving but it dosent reach the destination. Can any one see a problem with my config above ?
