holywhitewolf Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 I can't seem to figure out how to get my site to use the email system. I have tried to send an inquiry through the site, but it never is received. I have tried both configs of sendmail and smtp and neither one seems to allow it to work. I am using an email account setup through free hostia. An email sent directly works fine, so I know it's capable and I suspect the issue lies within osCommerce, though where or why I know not. Can anyone help? Thanks.
rpdesign Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 What do you have for your e-mail address? This should be found in your admin under My Store. This should link to [email protected]. Also your hosting company must allow an e-mail server to run on their machines. Your email from should be something like [email protected] with [email protected] as your secondary e-mail. You set this in send extra orders to in the my store section of the admin. Personally I have Hostgator as my host, and sendmail, lf, true, true , true set in e-mail options. hope this helps. :thumbsup: Always backup your files!

FIMBLE Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 you will normally need to set the "send email from" part to a domain email not a 3rd party one. if your sit is myweb.com then the send from mail should also be an email assigned to myweb.com like [email protected] etc...

strickerm Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I'm having the same issue. I've set up an admin account via my host with my domain and that sends email just fine. In osC, I have my email address and email from both set to the admin account -- [email protected]. I've tried the "Email Transport Method" as both SMTP and SendMail and neither will send any email. I also have the flag "Send Emails" set to "True". Ideas???
