OSCommerce not sending emails

**cheaptrk** · 05-21-2003, 12:11 PM

I've just installed OSCommerce and everything seems to work fine...

Except for mail. No emails are ever sent.

I'm thinking this is system related. I have this installed on Mac OSX Server.

What do I need to do to "activate" the mail function?

Same problem. I installed OSCommerce on my winXP-IIS everything works fine but when I install on host (Linux) everything works but email does not send. No error message either.
Do I have to set anything on hosting server?

Check your settings in e-mail option in the admin section Send emails may be set to false. Also the email transport method setting

Email transport method
Defines if this server uses a local connection to sendmail or uses an SMTP connection via TCP/IP. Servers running on Windows and MacOS should change this setting to SMTP.

I'm having the same problem with Mac OS X Server. I think it's some kind of authentication problem but I"m not sure how to fix it.

Is there a way I can get the store to authenticate with my mail server? TCP/IP doesn't work either.

Make sure you do have a SMTP MAIL SERVER installed. There is many free ones available....

What files are the sendmail paths stored in?

add me to the list of people that can't get email to work. I keep seeing the questions on all the forums and I've not seen ANY solutions. Lets start with this... does ANYBODY have it working? If so... what did you do?
