sojomy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I have osCommerce RC1 installed on a Windows machine with ArgoSoft mail server running. The ArgoSoft mail server has SMTP Authentication turned on, meaning that any email sent through this server to any other domain on the internet that is not hosted by this server is required to authenticate first. Since osCommerce does not support SMTP Authentication, I have added the email address for our store to the mail server's "Trusted Sender List". This means that when email comes through, if it's from an address on that list, it doesn't require authentication to relay to another server. Ok, no my problem. Most of osCommerce's pages that send email do not work. The only one that I can get to work is the Send Email page in the administrator's section. When I send an email from that page to a user, it works. Here is the partial log from the mail server... 12/3/2007 1:33:30 PM - ( 2312) MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> 12/3/2007 1:33:30 PM - ( 2312) 250 Sender "[email protected]" OK (Trusted) 12/3/2007 1:33:30 PM - ( 2312) RCPT TO:<[email protected]> 12/3/2007 1:33:30 PM - ( 2312) 250 Recipient "[email protected]" OK... But none of the pages on the catalog side will send email (New Registration Notification, Lost Password, Order Notificaiton, etc). Here is a sample output from the mail server log for those 12/3/2007 1:32:37 PM - ( 2304) MAIL FROM:<"Store Name" <[email protected]>> 12/3/2007 1:32:37 PM - ( 2304) 250 Sender ""Store Name" <[email protected]" OK... 12/3/2007 1:32:37 PM - ( 2304) RCPT TO:<[email protected]> 12/3/2007 1:32:37 PM - ( 2304) 551 User not local. Authentication required for relay As you can see, the store's name is "Store Name" and the Store E-Mail address is "[email protected]". The Send Email page in the admin section works because it only sends [email protected] as the MAIL FROM: command. But all of the other pages in the catalog fail to send the email because it is sending "Store Name" <[email protected]> as the MAIL FROM: command. What can I do to fix this. And why isn't my mail server recognizing "Store Name" <[email protected]> as a "trusted sender" but it will recognize [email protected] as one? Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Or if you can tell me how to get osCommerce to use SMTP Authentication, that would work too!
sojomy Posted December 3, 2007 Author Posted December 3, 2007 Ok, I fixed it myself. I installed this contribution which makes osCommerce use SMTP authentication. I just hope it doesn't break anything else. SMTP Authentication Contribution Hope this helps someone else in the future
