Bulk Actions No Longer Working

[supercub]

A while back one of my moderators started complaining about not being able to delete photos in admin / bulk actions. I have tried cleaning things up, and can't seem to get it to work. I have the most recent version of photopost, and it was doing it prior to the upgrade also.

Basically, if I select a category, select one of the photos to be deleted, and click submit changes, it gives the hourglass forever and then gives an error page, like it is severely tangled in its underwear.

Sorry if this is a common problem, I tried searching!

Thanks!

Ok, I knew if I asked the question I would figure it out. It turns out the SMTP setting in php.ini was bad and causing it to hang - I guess it tries to send out an admin mail?

Is there an option now for external smtp (I use authsmtp.com) servers other than through php.ini - i.e. a separate "mail" function?

Thanks!
