Has anyone actually got this working. I am going through everything now and testing various things of this store and if the email system doesnt work might as well not be using it. PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A POSTING THAT WILL BE THE END ALL TO THIS AND WE CAN ALL GET ON OUR MARRY WAY.

After searching, I found this site. It was a rough english discussion of the problem, but I found the solution near the bottom. Great job hashing it out.

 

Here is how they got this to work:

Edited the email.php, class.smtp.inc, and email.php per the instructions, but

 

replaced:

include (DIR_WS_INCLUDES. '/classes/class.smtp.inc');

 

with:

if (! class_exists ('smtp')) include (DIR_WS_INCLUDES. '/classes/class.smtp.inc');

 

---

 

I was getting a "Cannot redeclare class...on line 12" error, but this cleared things up. I recommend changing the double-quotes from their example to single-quotes if that is how the rest of your code looks. As for the other params in the files, use mail.yourserver.com for smtp server, www.yourdomain.com for HELO, [email protected] for most *nix mail account usernames. I had to configure this in all 3 files for it to work.

 

My 2 cents.

Separate item of help for some users getting a relay-denied from their SMTP server:

 

Some mail servers deny sending if you do not specify a "from" address that is recognized as trusted. This solution has worked for some. It did not for me, but it is worth a shot if nothing else is working.

 

Edit the "from" part fo the email.php files:

$send_params['from']		= '';

 

could read

$send_params['from']		= '[email protected]';

 

or you might have to do

$send_params['from']		= '<[email protected]>';

Hey guys, I'm sorry I can't give you specific instructions on how to get this thing working. I don't use OS Commerce anymore and haven't for a while now but I'm happy to continue hosting the SMTP files link on Page 2. It sounds like there are a lot of people on here who have gotten it to work and can help so you're in good hands. Good luck to everyone!!!

I GOT A FIX FOR MY PROBLEM!

 

Somebody in another osCOmmerce support forum provided me with a modification to the email.php files in osCommerce that have solved my problem.

 

I'll provide them here and hopefully be able to help someone else out there having the same problem I did. Download the Zip file and read the "readme" file carefully. It's all in there.

Thanks,

I can use the e-mail function through the admin panel and send e-mail to customers, but when customers register, they should recieve an e-mail.

Any suggestions about this?

Does the contact us page work (i.e., does the store receive an email)?

 

What type of server are you hosted on? Windows or Linux?

 

What is your email transport configured as? SMTP or sendmail?

 

What is the email linefeed configured as?

Hey Ben,

 

Thanks for responding.

The store doesnt get an e-mail either. I'm using a windows server with xampp.

Transport is configured as SMTP. Linefeed as ''LF''

Another update: I can send from Contact Us, but when i try to send in the admin panel, or the normal message after creating a account, my kerio mailserver says:

 

4.1.8 451 4.1.8 To send mail, first check your mail with a valid POP3 account' This prevents unauthorized spam relaying.

 

I googled for 2 hours but couldn't solve the problem.

 

Any suggestions guys?

Check with your hosting company. It may be that they require SMTP password authenication in order to send mail to a foreign domain (i.e., mail sent to the stores domain name are fine, but sending something to the customer won't work.)

 

If you need SMTP authenication, use this contribution.

I also have the same problems:

 

the osCommerce CANNOT send email out, the SMTP.ZIP file that you guys discuss so far is still available?

 

if yes, please email to me, [email protected] :( :(

 

Thanks.

The contribution I referenced in the previous post contains a implementation of SMTP which has been integrated into osCommerce. Use it.

Thanks to everyone. You guys helped me a lot.

 

I see some guys still have a problems.

Here my description, how I did it, thanks to all information and .inc file in this topic.

Download smtp.zip on page 2 or here: http://72.18.246.145/files/smtp.zip (the link is working, I just downloaded this file today is 6.4.2008)

Go and read ReadMe.txt file!!!! MUST!!!!!

Just one comment: when you will edit .php and .inc files, check with host about SMTP server and !!!! PORT !!!, cause mine was different, not 25.

Another MUST to do: in both email.php change

 

include (DIR_WS_INCLUDES. '/classes/class.smtp.inc');

 

with:

 

if (! class_exists ('smtp')) include (DIR_WS_INCLUDES. '/classes/class.smtp.inc');

 

(thx to Swami)

 

 

When done with all editing in email.php and .inc files (under public folders and admin folders), go to admin side in your OScommerce, and in Configuration --> E-mail Options, change in E-Mail Transport Method from sendmail to smtp, and in E-Mail Linefeeds change to CRLF.

 

Again, this will work for servers running on Windows.

Worked fine for me.

 

Thank you again guys.

I'm having the same problem:

 

I can send e-mails, the forgotten password works, it sends e-mail after order status modification but I receive NO emails if the contact us form is filled.

 

Could some one send me this smtp.zip file to [email protected] or give me a working link?

 

thanks,

 

Paulo

Hi I spoke to my ISP about this and they said:

 

"Please note that our mail servers require SMTP authentication in order to send mail; your scripts will therefore need to use authentication and proper credentials. "

 

Any ideas where/how to set this up? I am very new to this so would appreciate the help. ++ still waiting on the file if anyone is kind enough to share :D

 

Thanks

Charu

I found it. I'm not real sure what I did to get it to work, I just remember I used the example file in the zip to customize the class file to my smtp server and replaced the smtp class file in oscommerce. Good luck!

 

SMTP.ZIP
