Email problems

[oscomglas]

Hai All,

I have been going over several topics but no solution found yet.

Using Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

PHP 7.0.33

oscommerce-2.3.4.1

Mail is working (machine acts also as mailserver)

PHP mail also tested and works.

<?php

$to      = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Test mail';
$message = 'Eh test !';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
      'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

However I can select smtp or sendmail but no mail is send:

I see a log entry with sendmail log

mail.log

Sep 11 22:06:23 site sendmail[24010]: x8BK6NYc024010: from=www-data, size=247, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=www-data@localhost
Sep 11 22:11:22 site sendmail[24567]: x8BKBMI1024567: from={name}, size=101, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=root@localhost

Looks weird that the from is the owner or just a name....

Relay is also weird I would expect local IP or something like that.. oscom log just tels me mails are send.... no errors...

I hope someone knows what to do to get it running... Install was smooth no errors....

Try installing the Phoenix version (see my signature below).  2.3.4.1 is a little dated and might be causing the problems you're having.

According to W3SCHOOLS php mail tutorial, there are two must have headers:

Quote

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Could this be the cause?

@oscomglas

Are you trying to send plain text, or HTML?

Hai Dan,

Yes I updated to the phoenix version and now mail (and security checks) are working ok.....Thxs for the hint.

However I noticed that after adding the Dutch language my admin screen is in Dutch but in the main shop I have no language selection ?

Any hints on that part ?

Maybe....did you install the languages NavBar module?

Dan

[oscomglas]

No I have no extra modules just uploaded the dutch lange in admin and the store.... Should I use that module ?

[oscomglas]

I stand corrected ..... indeed there are two files:

winkel/includes/languages/dutch/modules/navbar_modules/nb_languages.php

winkel/includes/languages/english/modules/navbar_modules/nb_languages.php

[Dan Cole]

Yes...this isn't ready for prime time yet but have a read. It'll tell you about the Navigation Bar and how to install the NavBar modules etc.  Play around with it.
