Summary#2996 - smtp error when sending mails  
Very often I get a smtp errormessage when trying to send out mails. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to re-login to egroupware. Latest trunk, using a standard smtp server outside. It worked without any problems until maybe one or two weeks ago.

Hi Klaus,  
the problem still remains and there is no logic in it. I cannot reproduce the situation. But maybe it belongs to an overloadproblem in connection with another issue I’m fighting at the moment. I get a lot of errormessages in the apache log, most of them are dprecated messages belonging to the gallery2 installation (which is obviously not compatible with php 5.3) and some seem to show a problem with emailadminprofiles (cannot connect to mailbox with Profile:0. Please check your prefs!).  
I’ll try to compact the errormessages and post them here…  
Regards  
Stefan

Has this one improved since June?  
Any news here? Still happening?  
I still do not have a clue why this was happening to you, maybe it has been fixed with other fixes.  
Let me know.
