howto change the e-mail user?

[Bodybuilder]

Ok, i installed an other mailserver. but now i have another problem. When i want to confirm an order it says that the user is unknown, that is what my mailserver says to oscomerce. What is the username and password that oscommerce uses to send e-mail??

If i know that i can register that user to my mail server.

 

thnx

There is a contribution for SMTP with authentication (search terms smtp auth). Otherwise, osCommerce does not send as a user.

 

Good luck,

Ohh ok thanks!. when i search for smtp auth i get a list of 40 results.

which one do i have to download?

It usually comes up close to the bottom and actually has smtp and authentication in the name.

 

Hth,

Ok thanks i found it and installed it. It still says user unknown, that's weird. Is it possible to use an other SMTP server, like the SMTP server of hotmail or my internet providers SMTP server?

 

Thnx

Sure, just change the authentication information in the file appropriately.

 

Good luck,

Ok i changed it to my ISP's SMTP server.

and i removed these lines.

 

return mail($to_addr, $subject, $this->output, 'From: ' . $from . $this->lf . 'To: ' . $to . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $this->headers) . $this->lf . implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));

} else {

return mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers));

 

Or are these lines neccesary?

 

Thnx

OK it works, i changed some SMTP settings in php.ini to my providers ISP SMTP settings.

Only 2 little problems left, if i register a new user he doesnt get an e-mail. and when it places an order it also don't receive an e-mail about the order.

Only these 2 little problems left, and i'm finished :)

Which are you using now? The SMTP w/ authentication? Or the PHP mail? Where is email working? Is it address dependent?

 

With what did you replace the two lines that you removed? From where did you remove them? Are you still using that module?

 

Thanks,

Matt
