Email Sending Problems

[dtran]

I have researched this problem and sadly the support in Oscommerce is far from excellent. I had to get with my host in order figure this email sending problem out.

 

the current build 2.2 has issues with servers because of the way they handle spam. I wasn't able to send any email nor did the system send any when you sign up for an new account. Tried the smtp, sendmail, LF CRLF, etc. nothing worked because I had to modify some code in the email.php files (both in catalog and admin).

 

in email.php you have to change this:

 

mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf,

$this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));

 

to this:

 

mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf,

$this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers), "-f [email protected]");

 

where [email protected] is your actual information.

 

Once you edit both the email.php files, it worked perfectly for me.

I don't know who you are but you are my hero. Thanks. I was going crazy and got no help from my hosting company other than to google it which is a common answer to everything. I knew that the customers weren't getting the emails but I didn't let on to my clients. They got their order emails because I found a workaround. I will leave it in because it works. Now they will never have to know it wasn't working. :)

Thanks.

My hosting service, Linksky Value Hosting, has just piled on the straw that broke

the camel's back. They decided to implement new anti-spam measures

that broke my mail functions, and did so without notice or

forewarning of any kind.

 

It appears that this new anti-spam checker requires a valid

reply-to email address or it will fail. As far as I can tell, and I have

been searching non-stop for the last two hours, OsCommerce does

not have a reply-to setting, and I am unsure how to go about

correcting this. I would hate to go mucking around and make things

even worse than they already are. I've looked at tep_mail and everything else

but can't figure it out.

 

Can anyone help me with the changes that need to be made

to add this in?

 

BTW, I tried the code suggested here but that did not

fix my problem.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
