Hi,

 

From phpXRef:

 

Function and Method Cross Reference

tep_mail()

Defined at:

 

* /admin/includes/functions/general.php -> line 1069

* /includes/functions/general.php -> line 959

It is the tep_mail() function that is called for emails. What is the problem you are having ?

I am having the same problem. No email is sent from any function on the site.

 

This is a re-build of a previously static site, which in the past, I used a perl/cgi sendmail script.

 

My site is hosted on a solaris server, and I am not sure how to properly configure the settings so that mail is properly handled. Any clues on this would be of great help..

Hi,

 

Test whether you are able to do a PHP mail(), like this:

 

<?php
$message = 'some text';
mail('[email protected]', 'test', $message);
?>

Hi ALL.

 

I have the same problem. And i seems to know what is it.

 

Before the email was not send from admin -> tools. It was because mail server not configured properly and mail was sent without right return-path.

Read my post here.

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=134948&hl=

I have changed it by adding simple parameter to PHP mail function.

 

Now i found that another "welcome messages" also not sending.

I think it's old problem. I found tep_mail function in the general.php file but i dont know how to add the same change as in the email.php since actually i dont know PHP.

 

I think i must change something in this line

$message->send($to_name, $to_email_address, $from_email_name, $from_email_address, $email_subject);

 

or to change the whole line to somethin like this :

mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers),"-f".$from."");

 

I dont know how to do this right, PHP GURU YOU CAN HELP! :blink:

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I basically just created page "mailtest.php" with only that script above in (of course substituting relevant info.) and then uploaded it into my top level directory (outside of osc). I then called the page...Even refreshed a couple of times....And nothing in my email Inbox :(

 

What next?

Hi!

 

I had a problem sending emaisl, To solve it only took a couple of replaces. What I did is the following:

 

1.- Download using ftp the following files:

 

your_Oscommerce_Directory/admin/includes/classes/email.php

and

your_Oscommerce_Directory/includes/classes/email.php

 

I recommend before modifying to make a backup copy of the files you change.

 

2.- Find the following lines in both files (they are near the end of the file):

 

if (EMAIL_TRANSPORT == 'smtp') {

return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));

} else {

return mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));

}

 

3.- To fix it you must add: ,"-f" . $from_addr at the end, or well replace the lines jus mentioned in step 2 for this:

 

if (EMAIL_TRANSPORT == 'smtp') {

return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers),"-f" . $from_addr);

} else {

return mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers),"-f" . $from_addr);

}

 

4.- Save the files with the changes.

 

5.- Upload the files and replace for the old files.

 

I found this in another solution in the forum, don't remember wich, but it worked for me, I couldn't send mails to some email accounts.

 

Hope it Helps!!
