Email not working

[pinkicelemontea]

I have just set up a new oscommerce but somehow the customers does not receive confirmation email upon registering or placing an order. I also does not receive additional email for order (as in admin). I have set true and sendmail etc... in the admin and it is still not working...

 

anyone has any advice...appreciate that please.

Thank You.

Did you try changing the:

E-Mail Transport Method

??

this setting depends on type of server..

 

Plus make sure under configuration/my store - send extra order emails to - is formatted correct:

Name <email@address>

I'd suggest taking OSC out of the equation by running the script below to see if PHP e-mail in general is working for you. I can't take credit for the script I think got it from the online PHP manual. Make sure to replace the "yourname" and "yourdomain" in the code before running it.

 

If the script returns, "Cannot Send Email" I'd suggest verifying your settings in the PHP.ini and checking the PHP log file for any helpful error messages.

 

 

<?php
// The message
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send
$result = mail([email protected]', 'Test Subject1', $message);

if($result){
echo "Email Has Been Sent .";
}
else {
echo "Cannot Send Email ";
}
?>
