outsourcethis Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have OSC installed on awindows 2003 server. SMTP is working correctly. I can't send emails from OSC though me SMTP server. I have tried every trick/mod posted here in the forums. There must be a simple solution to this problem. I have no auth needed to use smtp server. I have configed my email transport in the admin to SMTP, and send emails is set to true There must be a email file in OSC that you set the SMTP IP address in but I can't find it. There must be a file that connects the third party SMTP server to OSC Yes I have my ini.php file setup for SMTP also Anyone have any ideas Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = smtp.comcast.net ; for Win32 only smtp_port = 25 sendmail_from= [email protected] ; for Win32 only ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpopelar Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Check your E-mail Linefeed setting in admin -> configuration -> E-mail Options. It needs to be set to CRLF or many SMTP internet email forwarding agents will discard an email message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsourcethis Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Got it working. So several things. I own the servers this is running on so I have complete control over SMTP, PHP.ini, etc. Turns out that in I had this setup mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = severname ; for Win32 only smtp_port = 25 sendmail_from= [email protected] ; for Win32 only What I needed to add is "localhost" and I also need to do this which I found on another board http://forums.creloaded.com/Forums/viewtop...il/start=0.html "Found a solution! This works for me: look in email.php (there is one in catalog/includes/classes and one in catalog/admin/includes/classes) Find this: Code:: if (EMAIL_TRANSPORT == 'smtp') { return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers)); } else { add this line in the white space BEFORE that: Code:: ini_set("sendmail_from", "you@your_hosted_domain.com"); so that it looks like this: Code:: ini_set("sendmail_from", "you@your_hosted_domain.com"); if (EMAIL_TRANSPORT == 'smtp') { return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers)); } else { Of course, change you @ your_hosted_domain.com to your own reply address such as sales @ yourdomain.com! This is why: On a Windows based server it is necessary to set the "sendmail_from" address explicitly in the PHP.ini file. This will properly set the Return-Path variable in the header and is not necessarily the FROM address displayed on an email address. If the Return-Path is not specified, the email may be considered spam or malformed by most hosts. Especially on common free email servers. Since most hosts, including us, will not provide you with direct access to the PHP.ini file, you will need to set it in your script directly. Additionally, it would be incorrect for the host to specify a generic email address." Doing both these things together fixed my problem. Now works prefectly Thanks Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
