Zigma Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 When I order something a mail is supposed to send to the costumer and one to the admin. How do I setup this if I want to test this function using my computer as server (localhost)?As now it dont work at all, I have added my hotmail adress on the mailalert config.

djfriz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Go to:Back Office >> Preferences >> EmailSelect - Set my own SMTP parameters. For advanced users ONLYEnter the outgoing email server, username, and password you use in your email client.Default port is 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropischBruin Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 This is not related to PS, it has to do with your server config.What program do you run as SMTP-server?Find support on that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigma Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cant I use my yahoo mail as the program? Or must I have a program?

TropischBruin Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You need to install an SMTP-server first before you can send/recieve e-mails on you PS install.Or find a hoster who has it all, less headache........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Julian Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It should work without your own smtp server :> But check if your ISP may be blocking port 25... if so, use their smtp settings/server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigma Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I tried CanYouSeeMe.org , both port 25 and 110 are blocked: Error: I could not see your service on 192,168,0,1 on port (587), 25 and 110Damn, it must be my ISP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Also check your firewall to allow outgoing traffic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
