osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Email configuration


Guest

Recommended Posts

When i use the 'contact' link it says after i send a message, successfully send, but no email is every received. Same goes for the shopping cart and checkout. Oscommerce does not send emails but also does not give any error or other info to work with, it looks like mail has been send, or like the checkout procedure was successful.

 

i run the latest version of oscommerce on a Debian 3.1 Sarge Linux box with postfix as SMTP, and that is running at port 25, i checked.

 

Please tell me in what file or menu i should configure oscommerce to work along with SMTP?

 

Since the admin screen only asks for SMTP or sendmail but doesn?t actually ask for a username of password for SMTP access, or any other option that might solve this.

 

 

Your tips and/or help are highly appreciated, thank you!

In your osC admin panel, under Configuration --> E-mail Settings you have the choice of SMTP or Sendmail. On a linux box the choice should probably be sendmail.

 

There is a contribution you can add if you need SMTP authorisation.

under Linux Debian , sendmail is not installed by default, also i'm not a big fan of sendmail, it's to complex for this simple task.

 

 

what contribution do you mean , do you have a url please? i have no experience yet with installing contributions.. what howto should i read first?

 

 

thank you for your reaction :)
