I bet I would get distracted and walk right into that center step post,
Only once, I'd imagine.. (oddly perhaps, in 20 years as far as I know, nobody has thumped it yet). I have seen people grab it when slipping on snow/rain-covered steps, before I put the traction screens on (now I'm using a non-slip varnish, but I still have the traction screens in case that's not sufficient).
Quote from: SpudsI'm still putting stuff away from when I did my deck, gave me an excuse to start other projects that will take years for me to complete. Its just like I used to tell my boss when they wanted to know how far along I was on a project. I'd tell them 80%, which means I've decided to actually start working on it
You can spend 80% of a project's eventual lifecycle planning, or 80% reworking..

Last post by Steeley -
It would be helpful if you provide more detail in your questions...
"I just tried to create a new user and got that popup or something like it.."
Who, What, Where, When, are important.. why often adds context if it's not obvious..
You got "who" ( "I just tried.."), and "what" ("create a new user"), and ""when" (apparently during the process of creating a new user), but where (You asking if it was "us folks" implied this website, but no..). If you had specified where you were trying to create the new user (your own server) would have elicited a more accurate response - I recognized the mail() routine error as a server response, just didn't know what server you were referring to.
Your subsequent question regarding SMTP "client" is also scarce on specifics that helps cut to the chase, and leaves us trying to imagine what exactly you're trying to do that generated your question. I answered the question you asked, but I'm not sure it addresses the problem that gave rise to the question in the first place.. context is really helpful..
My SMTP info shows me everything else but not the client.
thank you, Rick
SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) is a Client/Server mail configuration. The Server is "in the middle" on the host, the Client's are on the sending/receiving end. Outlook, Pegasus, Thunderbird, etc., are clients you can download and use on your own computer to create emails to send to a server email handler to process and forward on to the destination client. Roundcube, for example, is a client that resides and runs on the server that you can access via your web browser. While it's on the server, it's still a "client" of the email handling process. What defines a client is not so much where it's located, as to what it does.
In short, the client configures the credentials for authentication (use of the host mail server), the email address of the sender, the email address or addresses of the recipients, and the message content. The mail server receives the email package from the client, and if the package complies with the SMTP protocol (authentication, addressing, formatting, etc.), sends it along to the intended recipient(s). The recipient client receives the email package from the server, and displays it on the recipient's user interface.
The latest (I think) protocols Clients and Servers comply with (at this point in time) in order to make sure everyone is on the same page are defined in RFC5321 and RFC1123.
See section 2.1 of RFC5321 for a visual representation of the email client and server relationships..
While those are mind blowers, RFC1123 is being modified, augmented or supplemented by new (some say poorly defined) OLATH 2 advisories on authentication and security that are causing some consternation, still, the role of the client remains the same.

PS here it is
An Error Has Occurred mail() has been disabled for security reasons
Something's goofy - I just tried to create a new user, then when I tried to log in, it said I needed to authorize (didn't realize email auth was enabled - no clue until I tried to log in), no email authorization link was sent so I requested another.. and again, nothing received - no joy.
Never mind, it was apparently me.. I tried again and this time I got the auth notice and the auth email.. Let me introduce you to my inner child "Mort"..
Going to take a look now.
