Mail sending error

[zeuf]

Hi Everybody

I just installed PS for a friend... Great toy !! But as a lot of people, sending mail from the contact form did not work... (even during the installation process it did not work).

So I read the forum... I was amazed by the numbers of people who met this problem... And without emails possibilities PS is like a Veyron without oil...

So we can read that you have to do this SMPT, or do that PORT, or SSL this or TLS that... Put a Localhost or don't mention your password... Well... This is not the problem here when you succeeded in sending mail when you are registered (and failed without being logged)... AT ALL !

I searched... And I found something :

The file : /classes/Mail.php
Line 29 (with great Notepad++) :

if (!isset($fromName)) $fromName = $configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME'];

That was my problem... Well I have to admit that I did not look for Why... I just COMMENT this @##@## line after almost 3 hours of "work"... (by the way I think that is the only line of code I can understand).

And I replaced by this beautiful line :

// if (!isset($fromName)) $fromName = $configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME'];
$fromName = 'Client' ;

But you can put what you want :

$fromName = 'FromWebsite' ;
$fromName = 'Contact' ;
...

And it works perfectly !

Apparantly it sets the name of the FROM: field in mail(). And when it is empty (for the installation email test or when you are not registered), it is not working for me.

Cheers !

Thanks a lot! This problem was driving me nuts

[zeuf]

Yes.. Me too !!!
You welcome, of course... Open source, is open heart and open mind... !
Have a nice life on the Net !

In many cases, including me this is not working!

And I replaced by this beautiful line :

// if (!isset($fromName)) $fromName = $configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME'];
$fromName = 'Client' ;

Have you configured in back-office the Tools/ Contact/ Shop name:?

For me it seems that you could have avoided modifying the files with this...

i can send the mail ,but can't receive the message.

i can send the mail ,but can't receive the message.

That means you can't send the mail. Event if it says "Mail sent" the mail was sent only to the local mail server and it can still fail when this server tries to send it to the destination.

a possible part solution

I've found that if I edit the MailSend.php from tools/swift/swift plugin and blank out the header & parameter bits from around line 160 to be:

if (!ini_get("safe_mode")) $success = mail($to, $subject, $message, "", "");
else $success = mail($to, $subject, $message, "");

I can successfully get phpmail to work at shop setup (so assume it'll work at other times as well).

Possibly this means the header info / params passed are creating the problem, or at least with my host (hostmonster).

I don't know enough about php to see why but it seems similar to some posts saying to use params="".

This worked fine for me... Thanks!

look at the mails folder for your language. some files are 0 KB, translate the english originals (oops french, sorry ^^) and copy to your native language folder.

this was what worked for me.

Good morning,

in this kind of problem, the SSL or TLS technologies can not be the problem.

Best regards,

Sayin Cagrie,

siteleriniz gercekten güzel ve original. Görüyorumki SSL korumali Kredi Karti alisveris metodunu kulaniyorsunuz.
Ama daha cok müsleri ikna etmek ve güven altina almak icin size kendi sitelerinizin üstüne SSL teknolojisini kulanmaniza tavsiye ediyoruz.

Hayirli günler,
