change mail from nobody@

[xperience]

Hi,

 

We're having mail rejected by AOL because the Return-path is set as nobody@

 

Is it possible to change this in oscommerce so that AOL won't reject mail?

 

Cheers

anyone!?

Fix the return path in the admin panel. There is a place for an email address there (couple of places actually)

I've set the two e-mail addresses in 'my store' but can't find anymore.

 

Any ideas? Surely this is affecting everyone!?!?

I'm no expert, just learning, but my testing with the mailfrom set in My Store/Email From on the Admin panel has the outgoing mail working correctly. I haven't sent to any AOL addresses, but it is fine to all of my addresses.

If these are set correctly, as I believe they are (my emails only

just the other day started failing) :

 

EMAIL_FROM

STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS

 

Then what would cause "nobody"@anydomain.com to show

up in the return path?

 

This "nobody" in the return path is preventing my email

from going out to to new anti-spam measures.

 

Can a return-path be set in Oscommerce so that the

mail transfer agent passes that info on? As far as I can tell,

OSCommerce does not have that functionality written in

at this point.

 

Any ideas anybody?

 

Thanks

I'm having this problem as well :(

The problem is Return-path: 'nobody'@ in the email header. The solution is to recompile apache with phpSuExec, otherwise php scripts run as nobody. Using phpSuExec, the server will send out web based form/script emails with the 'from' header user@ and not nobody@ (AOL now blocking).

 

More in this thread.

I am having this problem as well.

 

AOL recently started rejecting messages from my osCommerce site - it appears becuase of the "from nobody" header problem with sendmail.

 

Has anybody come up with a way to set these headers properly in the osCommerce mail code?

 

Should I just try using SMTP if possible?

 

I'm guessing this problem is affecting a lot of osCommerce sites right now.
