ecard not being sent!

[ventowtf]

Hi, I'm having an issue with ecard's not being sent. I know the php mail function works because the activation email gets sent just fine.  

Any suggestions?

as unregistered users can't send ecards on your gallery, please provide a test account.

Thanks gaugau

Nice pics.

Have you tried editing mailer.inc.php to have SMTP point to localhost and give it a go?

[ventowtf]

Thanx  

I have tried editing mailer.inc.php to point to localhost.   But when I do that, I still can't receive the ecard.  

I wonder why it's only affecting ecards and not the activation email, which gets sent pretty fast.  

They both user mailer.inc.php right?

It might currently work in some cases, but it's flaky.

I ran into problems trying to register and got this:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 550 Sender verify failed

Sounds like relay/smtp problem. Instead of localhost, can you change it to a proper mail domain which your server has access to? ie mail.go-pix.com or www.go-pix.com or something?

Moorey, do I have to specify the username and pw too?

this is what I edited in mailer.inc.php:

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['smtp_host'] = 'mail.go-pix.com';
$CONFIG['smtp_username'] = 'ecard@go-pix.com';
$CONFIG['smtp_password'] = '*****';

It doesn't seem to work with this config

PS...  I saw the comment you made on one of the pictures under the test username..

She has a beautiful smile.

Which one do you think has a nice smile?

I'll put in a good word for ya :-D

[moorey]

You will?  :oops:  :wink:
They are all beautiful smiles.. both left and right. *sheepish grin*

Anyway, you shouldn't have to use any username or password unless you're required to do so (your host will specify this if this is the case). If it's still no go, you could try:
- another mail server that allows relaying;
- or check with your host that sendmail is properly installed.

We'll see where it goes from here.

the ecards are being sent just fine - I tried yesterday at 18:40 h UTC+1 twice and received both ecards, so I suggest you leave the settings you had at that very moment. If you can't receive emails sent as ecards to yourself, I guess they're being filtered by some anti-spam mechanism (since coppermine sends out emails in html format with embedded pics, which can be mistaken for webbugs; this will result in high spam-propabilities).
