Possible bulk mailer problem????

[Guest]

Hi all!

 

I have a strange problem of not being able to send emails from the store to certain addresses. It is returned as "unrouteable mail domain ".

At the same time this address works well using the regular mailserver from the same domain (by outlook from home computer, for example),

and traces perfectly nicely from cpanel.

I noticed at other forums, that there is a number of people having the same problem. Also, there was a thought, that some routers/relays, simply block those mails, because they treat them as spam.

Thus, given that the same domain server mail works normally, the only difference I see here: "X-Mailer: osCommerce bulk mailer"

I suspect, that other "more normal" mailer could solve the problem.

 

Does anyone know, how to use different mailer for that?

 

Thanks a lot.

The most likely explanation is that it is not using the mail server. Instead, the sendmail on that box is talking directly to the target mail server. Thus, you either need to reconfigure sendmail to relay all local mail to the mail server or just to send properly.

 

Good luck,

Thanks for fast reply, Matt!

 

Does anyone know where I can configure the mail services of OsCommerce?

The best thing, I believe, will be to specify the mail server of my website - right? :?:

osCommerce just uses the stock PHP mail handler, which uses sendmail (on Unix/Linux boxes) or SMTP (on Windows boxes). Thus, to configure the mail, you do it in sendmail. If you can't do that, there is a contribution to do SMTP with authentication that you might be able to use or modify.

 

Good luck,
