magician007 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Many have this problem too...and I havent been able to figure out the problem...configuration is completely fine... i am using sendmail... Any ideas?
FIMBLE Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 What server are you on Rohan? If windows you need to use SMTP, if Linux, are you using a Domain email address or something like hotmail etc as the email addresses in admin / configuration / my store Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
FIMBLE Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 As you use Windows you need to set to SMTP, also you need to set up a domain email account, admin@ etc... add this to your admin, then you can set up a reditect to send mail to your Gmail account (some servers do this others do not) if you do not use a domain email address as the send mails from then they will not get sent the majority of the time.

magician007 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 I want to use gmail as my email id. I also want to use the inbuilt send email/newsletter function in the Adminstration tools. Also, On the contact us page, I would like to receive mails to my gmail id. Could anyone guide me how to configure this?
FIMBLE Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 i already did then you can set up a reditect to send mail to your Gmail account Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
magician007 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 The server is not being hosted on my computer. Its hosted on byethost (paid service). Must I use the byethost email id or something else?
multimixer Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That will only help ONCE the emails are sending out!Nice topic though Nic It can happen that the host doesn't permit mails to be send via the contact us using the customers mail as the senders address. In this case you need to define a $from_email and to set it to STORE_OWNERS_EMAIL_ADDRESS It's described there, but this affect just the contact us. Other mails are getting send from the owners mail anyway. ------------ Do you have a Store owner mail address same as your hosting account? (eg [email protected] ---> yourdomain is the one where osc is hosted?) My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel
FIMBLE Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 its as easy as this A) Create a new email account on the domain server, add a redirect to this email, redirecting it to the gmail address you want to use B) Add the DOMAIN address to your oscommerce store configuration THIS will get your email working, do not make code changes until you are sure it DOES work Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
maccuda Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 i have got a contact email in the store owners information (domain email) and also a hotmail email address in the email copy on the admin side of things but when a customer fills in the contact us, nothing. When i send out an email to a customer via the admin panel, nothing. So no email being send whatever.. This is quite serious since customers cannot contact me...
Guest Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Same problem here. No Emails being sent. Server is windows and changed to SMTP. Got an email account with my host Godaddy so I am email@domain. Clueless.
