How do you get the email to work?

[rev2red 0]

What do you have to do to get the website's email system working. I had a gmail account and it wasn't working so I called godaddy.com and they told me I need to use an email is the same as the domain. So I changed the email to an address that matched the website and still no luck.

 

What setting do I need to change to get the emails to send to customer and to received emails from customers?

 

Thank you!

Copy the following to a file on your webserver:

<?php
// A test script for sending mail.  Put your email address below
// and open this script in your browser.

$TO_ADDR = "test@test.com";		  // your email address
$FROM_ADDR = "test@test.com";   // the address to show as "From"
$MESG = "From: $FROM_ADDR\r\n";
$MESG .= "\r\n";
$MESG .= "This is a test\r\n";
if (mail($TO_ADDR,"Testing",$MESG,"From: $FROM_ADDR"))
echo "Mail function succeeded<br />";
else
echo "Mail function FAILED<br />";
ini_set('sendmail_from',$FROM_ADDR);
$MESG = "From: $FROM_ADDR\r\n";
$MESG .= "\r\n";
$MESG .= "This is a test\r\n";
if (mail($TO_ADDR,"Testing with -f and From line in body",$MESG,"From: $FROM_ADDR"))
echo "Mail function succeeded with -f parameter<br />";
else
echo "Mail function FAILED with -f parameter<br />";
?>

 

and change the following:

$TO_ADDR = "test@test.com";		  // your email address
$FROM_ADDR = "test@test.com";   // the address to show as "From"

to your email addresses to test.

 

Then access the script from your browser and paste the output here.

Mail function succeeded with -f parameter

Did you replace the email addresses with yours and did you check your mailbox to see if you actually received the mail?

I did replace the emails with mine. I received 2 emails.

Ok, then the problem resides on the oscommerce side.

Can you receive mail if you send it through the admin side?

I just tried to use the tool "send email" and I did not receive an email.

Try this code:

<?php
 if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
define('SEND_EMAILS', 'true');

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['usehtml']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['usehtml'] == '1')) {
  define('EMAIL_USE_HTML', 'true');
} else {
  define('EMAIL_USE_HTML', 'false');
}
 }

 require('includes/application_top.php');

 if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
mail($HTTP_POST_VARS['to_address'], '[PHP] ' . $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'], 'This email has been sent from the native php mail() function.' . "\n\n" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['body']);

tep_mail($HTTP_POST_VARS['to'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['to_address'], '[osCommerce] ' . $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'], 'This email has been sent from the email class osCommerce uses.' . "\n\n" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['body'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['from'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['from_address']);

echo 'E-Mails Sent!<br><br>';
 }
?>
<form name="emailtest" action="testmail.php" method="post">
E-Mail From (name): <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('from'); ?><br>
E-Mail From Address: <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('from_address'); ?><br><br>
E-Mail To (name): <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('to'); ?><br>
E-Mail To Address: <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('to_address'); ?><br><br>
Subject: <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('subject'); ?><br><br>
Body:<br>
<?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('body', 'virtual', 50, 7); ?>
<br><br>
<?php echo tep_draw_checkbox_field('usehtml', '1'); ?> Send as HTML (overrides the Administration Tool setting)<br><br>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="send"><input type="submit"><br><br><input type="reset">
</form>

 

Run the script in your browser and fill in the appropiate fields.

Seeing as you are on a windows server you have set you mail to SMTP?

admin / configuration / e mail settings

Default is sendmail which will not work on a window box

Thank you!

Godaddy has an email cpanel to set up your email. You manage your email through it.

 

You need to create users(email recipients) i.e. sales@your_domain.com, customer_support@your_domain.com, etc.

 

Once created, this is what you use in your oscommerce store

under MY STORE>>Email Address and Send Extra Order Email field.

 

You also need to know if you're on a linux or windows server, so yo can set your email options.

I created the email with using the godaddy cpanel. I then updated the email under "my store". I am on a Windows server and have the email setting at set to "smtp". I'm still not able to send out emails to customers or receive emails from my website. What can I try next?

Anyone have ideas?

[Mad Duck 0]

RVsupply, what file is that php text added to? Or what file is it named and and in what directory? I did not understand your directions.

 

Should there not be a simple edit to fill in the e-mail parameters?

 

I am running a windows server with IX webhosting.
