So one further issue I have discovered is I no longer receive the webmaster & customer services emails in my inbox.
I have done some looking around and I vaguely remember back when originally configuring the shop there was some php mail override or something along them lines that had to be done manually (this was about 5 years ago so somewhat vague!!)
However since upgrading to 1.7 this appears to no longer work and the only way I know if a someone has sent a request to Customer Services is to log in the BO and check it - obviously this is very inefficient.
All my email setting work fine - I can do the test email, I received orders placed email and I can reply to Customer Services messages without issues - so it's not an email config issue just as in 1.6. So surely there is an easy way to enable this in 1.7?
Thanks
Steve
