XF 2.1 proc_open() blocked from the site

[GodFather07]

• ErrorException: Email to admin@torrentinvites.net failed: [E_WARNING] proc_open() has been disabled for security reasons
• src/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php:304

I contact the hosting site and they said that proc_open() blocked from the site
any idea how to fix this problem ?
cause site can not send any mails such as registration or password recover

Your host needs to allow proc_open() or you must use a third-party SMTP service.

Then you have to use the default SMTP transportation method, or find a new host.

IIRC, standard does require proc_open, SMTP does not.
So if proc_open is blocked, the only option is to use SMTP (or get a better host, really).

Yes, you are right. I had that backwards.
