Email not sending out

[AndrewL]

I am using PS 1.4.8.2 and had it set up and worked great.

Client changed email address and this new one is hosted on Google Apps -- I can not get the emailing working on the site since. The email address hasn't changed and when I go into "Preferences -> Email -> Test Email Settings" it emails as it should but when I put a different email address I get errors. 

Error: please check your configuration
Sending failed using mail() as PHP's default mail() function returned boolean FALSE.

 

So they don't get notification of an order and when someone forgets their password and click on the button they get an error.

 

There is 1 error :

1. Error occurred while sending the e-mail.

 

Any help would be amazing.

you use simple mail() function?

have you tried to use SMTP connection?

[AndrewL]

This isn't working either .... I am using Google Apps for the email and used the smtp.gmail.com server, etc... and still get the error

hello

 

if you switch mailing method to SMTP

you still see the same error? i mean this one:

Error: please check your configuration
Sending failed using mail() as PHP's default mail() function returned boolean FALSE.

[AndrewL]

No now I get a different error

 

Error: please check your configuration

 

In Google Apps its set up as a POP server, not sure if IMAP will help

This is not the right forum for this topic, I'm moving it.

 

Remember: the PrestaShop forum is one of the biggest there is and a wise choice for a new thread means more replies, better replies, neater forums and a more efficient community!

I have been struggling with this issue for the last week.  I have been scouring the internet looking for a solution.  I modified the swift php files. Still no luck. 

 

I was working with a fresh installation of Centos. 

 

I made sure all the dependancies were installed.  sendmail, sendmail-dev, postfix, dovecot etc...

I made them all run at boot with chkconfig and also made sure my hosts file was correct.

 

After reviewing log at /var/log/maillog  I found that permission was denied. 

 

After issuing a simple command I was able to send mail from the prestashop test page.

Keep in mind that this Centos. Ubuntu installations will be slightly different but hopefully this helps.
