lee01 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Can anyone tell me if I need smtp software to test sending emails on oscommerce on my local machine using apache or can i use outlook..? Really stuck on this one Error reads Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address in c:\easyphp1-8\www\myshop\catalog\admin\includes\classes\email.php on line 524 Thanks Lee
BryceJr Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 You can download Postcast server. It's an smtp server program. You can install and use it to test email being sent from a local oscommerce installation. I used this when I was testing osCommerce locally installed in my machine. I needed to see if osCommerce mail was working and what mail was being sent when "test" customers register, complete a purchase, etc. WARNING! Using Postcast turns your computer to an smtp server and can expose your machine to the oustide. You'll need a good firewall to reduce your risk of exposure. Also, I highly suggest that you turn on Postcast only when you need to test email and quit/exit the program when you're not. Other options: Hamster - similar to Postcast server - same warning applies http://www.elbiah.de/hamster/pg/ smtp through the authentication smtp server http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,901
