no valid EMAIL_FROM value

[Mister_dj]

Because the EMAIL_FROM field isn't filled in, most of the emails sent from within the shop, never arrive. They are blocked on the server as they are seen as spam.

 

I used a working email adress

Tried email_test script -> no errors

 

These are my settings in the admin

Shop owner Wim Van Gorp

E-mailadress [email protected]

E-mail from [email protected]

 

sendmail

LF

false

false

true

 

The site is hosted on a linux server with php 5.2.0-8+etch15

 

Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

Thanx in advance

Could possibly be solved using this (might be on this forum mentioned also, but somebody once pointed me there):

when adding the f- parameter to includes/classes/email.php and admin/includes/classes/email.php

i get this error message when sending email from the admin section

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE. in .../admin/includes/classes/email.php on line 522

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../admin/includes/classes/email.php:522) in .../admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 22

 

 

And when a customer places an order, he doesn't receive the order confirmation email. And the also the store owner doesn't receive the order confirmation anymore (This was ok before adding the f-parameter)

That's seems to a well described problem with the -f paramater in the mail function when safe mode is enabled.

More projects seem to suffer from that (see e.g. Drupal) but I think a solution might be to do an ini_set with the user you want.

 

A check for safe mode is on could be:

 

$safe_mode_setting = (@ini_get('safe_mode') == 'On' || (@ini_get('safe_mode') === 1)) ? true : false;

In case $safe_mode_setting == true you could try (instead of using the -f parameter:

 

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

 

See for example this post in a Dutch forum.
