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.

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 ;-)

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:

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.
