iscnitzan Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi, I have been working to setup my shop. I made some fake purchases but I don't get the emails notices that I made a purchase.... there is also no mail for the store admin... in fact NO EMAIL has been sent at all.. for any function.. I changed in Admin from sendmail to SMTP and back, checking what will work - nothing... I can't get any mail to be sent - not even the 'tell a friend' - that isn't working either... What do I do?? must get it to work... please help.
iscnitzan Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 OK, Found out that my Servers provider had func_mail () disabled... So - now it works. If anyone has this problem - note that you need the 'func_mail () ' enabled ;-)
nnishp Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 where and how do we change the funcmail to enabled?
leeorraus Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 where and how do we change the funcmail to enabled? I want to know too!
iscnitzan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 I want to know too! It very much depends on what server you are working with. Try running server info from Tools > Server Info, then search for: on Apache server: sendmail_path - needs to be something like - /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i and also Path to sendmail needs to be - /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i there are a few setting in php.ini for the mail functions [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = webmaster@localhost get some more help with php.ini settings here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php
iscnitzan Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 Hello everyone, I just found out that stores which I used sendmail with had their emails rejected as spam! This is due to the fact that sendmail appends the host name to the mail domain (ie. [email protected]) as the sender, which is different then the sites domain.... (ie. [email protected]) - thus marked as spam. I found that to solve the problem it is always preferred to use SMTP as the sending method (set in General Configurations). With that set to SMTP - most problems with sending mail will be solved. Hope this helps.
