more sendmail...first email held, second sends the first!

[andychalgrove]

I have a problem thats doing my head in. I have successfully got my mail doing something through sendmail, by modding with the -f etc.

 

However, when using the admin send mail option, the first mail I send does nothing, until that is I send a second, when the first mail pops up. Then if I send a third mail, the second pops up! Obviously I first thought these were mail delays, but after a few hours chasing I realised that somehow the previous email does not get sent until another send kicks it out!!!!

 

i'm using streamline.net

 

If I put a simple mail statement with fixed values it works correctly everytime...so rather worrying and scarily it looks like somehow old information might be being presented by the PHP code?!!!

 

Anyone else have this problem?

 

Thanks

Andy

HA HA, well ive worked this one out. DOL!!! You fill out the form on mail.php and you hit the send mail form, now I thought that sent the mail (thats what it says) and the next page was the confirmation. But looking at the PHP I see that the Send Mail button actually takes you to another screen which is intended to show you what you are going to send, then you push another "Send Mail" button, and this time it really does send the message!

 

I will now change the button text to "Verify Mail"!!!!
