shooter-boy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Roger, I have a few suggestions. 1. Are you running on a local install or a host server? If you are running on a local install, your php.ini probably needs configuring. 2. You are running on a Linux server or similar for sendmail? 3. You have entered correct email addresses in your setup? 4. There is no problem with them being blocked by spam filters? Check through these, and you might find something. Many thanks, Rob Rob Bell - Inspired Graphix Customising osCommerce in Australia, and the world! View my profile for web and email links. I'm sorry, but i cannot offer Free support via PM etc, and osCommerce forums prohibit me from putting any reference to paid support in my signauture. However viewing my profile may provide links to my website or something like that which you may find useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldSmith Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 It's a local install on fedora 6 i have looked inside my php.ini file im not sure i can see anything i could change the following is a paste from the mail section of my php.ini [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = the email i have in oscommerce is [email protected] this adress is not hosted on the machine with oscommerce ive tried sending emails to my gmail account and there doesnt apear to be any messages in the spam folder, im stumped on this one tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natewlew Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Can you send mail at all? Most isp's block port 25 so sendmail won't work without relaying it though them. I wouldn't worry about it if you plan on uploading your store to an ISP. Other great Open Source (Free) programs: (Free as in free speech not free beer) The Gimp - An image program. | Firefox - All you have to do is add the Web Developer add-on to make this web browser complete. | FileZilla - An ftp program. | Inkscape - A good program to create images with. | Thunderbird - An email program. | Openoffice.org - An office suite that is compatible with MS Office. | Abiword - Another office suite. | Audacity - A sound recording tool. | ddp's Picks | Wordpress - An easy to use blogging software. | Joomla - An easy to use CMS that has ecommerce plug-ins. | Drupal - Another CMS How do I find these programs?

GoldSmith Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thats a good point i never thought of that , i do plan on leasing a box in the future but for now im running off my local machine im pretty sure it is the isp blocking port 25 i didnt think of it at the time but not to long ago i was trying to do something else on port 25 and it was timing out.. can oscommerce send its email via a relay ? i do have smtp servers i can use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natewlew Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Oscommerce does not do this. Your mail program has to be working on your server. I use Postfix on Debian to relay mail though my ISP. It's a little easier to setup than sendmail.
