Hi,

Well some email functions are blocked by the service providers to avoid spamming happening from the server.

Try a page that send a simple email with mail function once thru.

Make a page and try using the email function of oscommerce.If this does not work then thats where you need assistance form your service provider and then some modificatin in your code.

I have contacted my host and they said this

 

If you installed osCommerce through the Control Panel system then the standard default setup should work as expected. As far as I am aware there should be an option to send mail through the local mail system (using the PHP mail function) which does not require the use of an SMTP server or for these settings to be entered.

 

Is this true?

I had the same problem after installing. No emails were getting anywhere. I am with a shared hosting company and was able to get in and look at my main server mail log to see what was happening. The email being sent out showed it was coming FROM 'nobody@(my domain).' Since I had no email account set up for "nobody", the email was being rejected off into the ozone. Once I set up an account for nobody@(mydomain) all the emails are flowing just fine now!! So my guess is that is the same thing that is happening to most of you with this problem. You must look at your mail log (mine was in var/logs/exim_mainlog) to see what error is happening. If it's being bounced because it shows coming FROM an address that doesn't exist, that's the key. You must find out what address your system is sending the mail "FROM". Then set it up and REJOICE!! Cause now it will work!
