Guest Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Help. I am not sure if this is a problem with OSC or with my web provider, but when a customer signs up, the email that is created will bounce and give an error about an un-routeable domain (such as aol.com or yahoo.com) Now we all know these exists. Here is the kicker, I can send email to myself from OSC and I get it, along with orders that customers provide. I am guessing I get the email because I am listed on the server and it doesn't have to route it. My biggest question is that my sendmail program resides at /usr/sbin/sendmail and I know most programs use /usr/bin/sendmail because I had to change a couple to get it to work. Do I need to do this you think or do you think its a web server problem? Thanks Jeff
Daemonj Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but I would really like to know what it is when the problem is resolved. Good luck!

Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Well my tech guy from my server fixed me up. What happened was php was sending through sendmail as user nobody (which is what the web runs as) It just would not route the mail from this user. Now I am not 100% sure if they just let it route the mail as nobody or if they changed how the server is running, all I know is that its up and running again.
Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 I think that in that case you need to set the user in the sendmail call, i.e. as /usr/bin/sendmail [email protected] in php.ini, as a php_value in .htaccess or httpd.conf, or as an ini_set in your code somewhere. Hth, Matt
