e-mail from Contact Us form not working.

[flexiverse]

hi,

 

When I complete the "contact us" form the e-mail is not arrived to my account.

 

How can I test the oscommerce config?

 

- the e-mail entered in osc admin does work, I can e-mail it directly from another account.

 

 

help!

1. Is OSC sending any email (create account / reset password/ order) or NO emails?

2. Login to Admin -> Configuration -> Email Options -> Send Email -> Is it set to TRUE or FALSE?

3. What are the settings for sending emails? E-Mail Transport Method SMTP or sendmail ?

YES for create account, reset password...

Send Email is set to TRUE

sendmail (as it's a linux server)

It's highly confusing, I'm looking at the code and they all use the same e-mail function.

 

in general.php the first two lines are:

 

function tep_mail( blah blah)

 

if (SEND_EMAILS! ='true') return false

 

 

in contact_us.php

 

if I put

 

$checkmail = tep_mail(blah)

 

if ($checkmail) echo 'true' else echo 'false'

 

 

it outputs FALSE when I send a mail !!!

 

what the heck!!!

 

in other words it thinks Send Email is set to FALSE at that point, when it can't be!!!

 

Jesus man what the hell is going on!

 

help!!

tep_mail(blah) is failing -- most likely due to text in $enquiry field ..

Check if you are using ' while you are typing the message.

Test with just one word in enquiry field, and view output of each variable that is being passed to tep_mail method (function)

Comment tep_mail function and replace it with hard coded tep_mail("My Name","My Address","SUBJECT","ENQUIRY","UR NAME","UR Address"); and run the test to see if you get it, if you do, most likely it is the text that is causing issue --

All,

 

I am having the same kind of problems,

When I use the contact form, I do not get emails.

When I use admin to send emails to customers, they do not get the email.

 

I checked what was recommended above and see that every thing looks correct.

 

When I created my own contact us .php form, I used the following code and was able to send emails,

 

ini_set('sendmail_from', '[email protected]);

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

 

 

But I can not find the code that actually send email using the osCommerce "contact us Form"

 

Any ideas?

An email is sent by email.php class located in the includes/classes or admin/includes/classes directory (yes, there are two copies of the same file). Near the end of the send() function you will find the call to mail() and you can add your ini_set function there or pass a 5th parameter to the mail function and pass in the string "-f [email protected]".

Hey thanks Ben,

Ok, now the contact form works, but when you send an email from the admin page to all customers. It say email was sent, but no one is receiving the emails

 

Any other ideas?

Do you have the admin -> configuration -> my store -> email from parameter defined?

 

This is the parameter that defines the source email address of newsletters and email sent by the admin side of the website. Since you are now receiving emails generated by the front side of the web site, your email is basically working. This is the only parameter I can think of that could cause the admin / back side emails to not work.

Hi joker,

I had the same problem. I can send mail from admin but I cannot receive mails from contact us page.

I tried using the mod you provide, but i got blank page when sending mail from contact us page.

Do you know how to fix this?
