s_t_harvey Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 About a week ago all emails stopped working from my oscommerce website. After an email to my host I got the following reply: "are you trying to use PHPMAIL or PHPMAIL for your outgoing mail script ? PHPMAIL has been blocked on our servers due to spammers using insecure PHPMAIL scripts, The answer is to change to PHPMAILER ( sourceforge) which is secure and specify the SMTP and make the whole mailer Authenticated - rather than allow user "nobody" send the mail - which is insecure and results in not only your site but our servers getting blacklisted by spamblock software" ????? how do i do this... please reply as I am losing customers daily due to this Thanks Simon
Jan Zonjee Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 The answer is to change to PHPMAILER ( sourceforge) which is secure and specify the SMTP and make the whole mailer Authenticated - rather than allow user "nobody" send the mail - which is insecure and results in not only your site but our servers getting blacklisted by spamblock software" For someone desperate, you haven't done a lot of searching I must say. About a week ago a contribution for this was released.
