No Emails

[[email protected]]

i use yahoo to webhost. which uses smpt authentication.. so i added your total contribution (dec 07) which was supposed to cover that. now the only difference is it takes longer for the page to load then it did before. still no emails tho. i tried turning on the debug as well, that doesnt work. i changed the value from false to true on line 78 and it didnt change anything, my web browser never recieved anything different than the normal "catalog/contact_us.php?action=success" page. i also tried loading it on my netscape browser to see if it was a IE thing. ive double checked all my settings they seem to be acurate, the only one i cant figure out is the HELO value? ive tried several different things, and tried searching on yahoo for it, with no result. ive tried just about everything that i can think of besides writting my own portion of code that generates php mail, please help. i dont want to waste time on programming if i dont have too

James,

 

Sorry your having problems with the SMTP Authenication contribution.

 

The official support thread for the contribution can be found here. You might look through that thread, if you haven't found it already. We should switch to that thread to resolve your issue.

 

I have an enhancement to the debug logic which will catch errors earlier in the SMTP protocol exchange and post them to the browser window. You are not the first person to comment on the debug logic not working... I'll post that update tonight when I get home.

 

It usually does not matter what the EHLO / HELO value is set to; email servers usually do not require an specific value. Typically you just set it to your host name (e.g., www.mystore.com).

 

You don't need to write your own code; you just have an email configuration problem. I'll post the update tonight. You can then download it and we should be able to quickly figure out what is wrong with the email configuration parameters.

James,

 

I've posted the update. Here's a link to the contribution.

 

The only file that changed was the class.smtp.php. It needs to be place in the following two locations:

 

includes/classes/

admin/includes/classes/

 

Copy the class.smtp.php file to both locations; edit it again per the readme instructions to enable the debug mode and lets see what it tells us.

 

If you can't figure out what the output means, send it to me via private mail and tell you what to change.
