CLI/CRON Can't Correct Incoming Email Address

CLI/CRON Can't Correct Incoming Email Address

Using 3.4.6 - no shell access

Within the list of tasks executing in cli/cron.php I find (actual server & address obscurred):

Scheduled task complete: Forum mailings and maintenance jobs (mod_forum\task\cron_task) Execute scheduled task: Incoming email pickup (tool_messageinbound\task\pickup_task)

... started 06:58:02. Current memory use 9.2MB.

Connecting to server49.webhost.com as noreply@mydomain.com...


The server address here isn't the correct one. I have changed it in both the incoming and outgoing settings of server/email and cleared all cache but, to no avail - it still uses the wrong server name when the cron script runs. I need to change this - am I missing a setting? How can I change this??


Thanks in advance!

Search for "mailhost" in your site admin.

Jeff - could you be more specific please? If you're talking about the search box beneath Site Administration, it returns nothing.

Actually you should go to here and look for the smtp hosts and Incoming mail server settings.

https:// localhost.com/admin/category.php?category=email


switch out localhost for your site's hostname.

even though category.php exists all I get is 404 errors. I would have thought the email settings in site admin would take care of this, but evidently there are others. Not sure how they'd be set if I didn't set them during install & setup.
