Guest Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Hi! I set up the osCommerce script, and right now i'm having a tad bit trouble configuring the email properly I'm running the osC 2.2 Linux Server Email Opt : E-Mail Transport Method -sendmail E-Mail Linefeeds -LF Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails- false Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS -true Send E-Mails -true however I'm not able to send emails in neither the admin screen / orders / newsletter anybody know what i might be missing in the configuration / how i could fix it? thanks!
dad7732 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Not to add a "me too" post but I am also having the same problem. I just want to add that my sendmail log shows absolutely NO activity whatsoever immeidately after attempting to send a test mail or two.
Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 would an alternative solution be to change to smtp, and do it the alternative way (windows way) since there seems to be a lot of stuff in the search about that... tho - that seems a lot more coplicated. any ideas? anyone?
Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 with linux you should be able to use the default installation. there is an 'email test' contribution, seems you may have something wrong with that.
dad7732 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 with linux you should be able to use the default installation. there is an 'email test' contribution, seems you may have something wrong with that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funny thing I just found out is that the email works from the "Contact Us" function but not in the admin areas. Puzzling to say the least. I just loaded this app today so I haven't had the luxury of doing a lot of looking around.

However, the email in the admin section still does not work.
Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 if both emails arrived, then it is going thru the email server both ways, outside and inside oscommerce. so it could be something didnt get copied all the way over on the installation process code wise. you may want to try copying the application back up (keeping the original configure.php files)
Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 My set up yields the same thing, in that contact us page works -- sends to admin However, admin messages and invoice isn't sent to the customer * +where's this test email contrib ? (can't seem to find it)
Guest Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 ttt - does anyone know a solution for this ? (sort of need this in a hurry) Thanks.
despatch_uk Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 sorry to be a pain guys but i am having exactly the same problem here. sending mail from contact us works. but no mail on account or order creation
Guest Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 search contributions for email test as Harald (the head honcho here) developed a very simple yet thorough program for testing email.
despatch_uk Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 cheers mibble. i have downloaded and run the email_test.php and bot the emails it send come through perfectly any more ideas m8 it seems from my searches that a few ppl on the boards have this issue cheers hamish
dad7732 Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 cheers mibble. i have downloaded and run the email_test.php and bot the emails it send come through perfectly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Although the email_test works here as well, nevertheless mail still does not send anyplace else other than "contact us".
despatch_uk Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 just out of curiosity dad7732 who is your host ?
