Magento send emails using SMTP

In order to allow magento to use SMTP instead of the usual mail function, you need to take the below steps.
- Login to magento admin and go to. System->Configuration->Advanced->System->Mail Sending Settings
- Now here set the host value to your smtp host name like
mail.domain.com

- And then the default port is 25.
- Now you need to change magento file. Do not edit the core file as you will loose your change in an upgrade.
- So copy this file app/code/core/Mage/core/Model/Email/Template.php in to your local, by creating the same folder structure.
- Enable that module.
- Then in Template.php you will have to change the getMail() function as below.

public function getMail()
    {
        if (is_null($this->_mail)) {
            /* changes begin */
           $my_smtp_host = Mage::getStoreConfig('system/smtp/host');
           $my_smtp_port = Mage::getStoreConfig('system/smtp/port');
           $config = array(
                    'port' => $my_smtp_port,
                    'auth' => 'login',
                    'username' => 'email@domain.com',
                    'password' => 'yourpassword'
                );
            $transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($my_smtp_host, $config);
            Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($transport);
            /* Changes End */
            $this->_mail = new Zend_Mail('utf-8');
        }
        return $this->_mail;
    }

- After this clear your cache.
- Now magento will be able to send emails for you.

Magento Community Edition (CE) 1.8 and Enterprise Edition (EE) 1.13 Released

 Highlights

• Major overhaul of tax calculation formulas, correction of rounding errors, and additional assistance with configuration
• Most indexing processes now run only to update products, categories, URL redirects, and so on that have changed—eliminating the need for manual full reindexing
• Additional option of using Redis NoSQL for cache and session storage in multi-host deployments (recommended for new deployments)
• Full page caching now invalidates only pages that are affected by product or category changes
• Optimized cache adapters for single-server systems
• Elimination of many types of database deadlocks

Disable Author pages in Wordpress

 Open your theme’s functions.php and put this in:

/* Kill attachment, search, author, daily archive pages */
add_action('template_redirect', 'bwp_template_redirect');
function bwp_template_redirect()
{
 global $wp_query, $post;

 if (is_author() || is_attachment() || is_day() || is_search())
 {
  $wp_query->set_404();
 }

 if (is_feed())
 {
  $author  = get_query_var('author_name');
  $attachment = get_query_var('attachment');
  $attachment = (empty($attachment)) ? get_query_var('attachment_id') : $attachment;
  $day  = get_query_var('day');
  $search  = get_query_var('s');

  if (!empty($author) || !empty($attachment) || !empty($day) || !empty($search))
  {
   $wp_query->set_404();
   $wp_query->is_feed = false;
  }
 }
}

The snippet above will effectively disable attachment pages, search page, author pages and daily archive pages. Automatically generated feeds for those pages will also be disabled.
