When I try to send a mass email to everybody on my phpBB message board, I get the following error message. Anybody know what this means? How I can fix it easily?
((I am a rookie and know very little code….))
((I just changed webhosts….the mail system appears to work well with everything else on my website. The program worked perfectly on my last webhost)))

This looks like an http status code. If so, it means gateway timeout, but since there is also a message saying the login mechanism is not supported, it is possible that your server is not set up to allow the function which the program requires to carry out your mass mailing.
Talk to your host’s tech department if you can get them to deal with you as if you were a human, rather than a piece of dirt the cat dragged in.
(PS. If you would like ultra-cheap hosting, with staff that DO treat you as worthy of their attention, go here: )
