Problem with contact form by SMTP and Sendmail

[qba]

From several weeks I have problem with Contact form. I wrote about my problem here: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,75030.msg363790.html#msg363790

Earlier I used SMTP settings (smtp.poczta.onet.pl:587 + username + password). All was OK till my email operator changed anti-spam protections. After that change all emails sent from my website were stopped. I asked my email operator about this problem and got answer:

In "From" field must be email address authorized in SPF filter - in this case onet.pl

The problem is in both cases: when checkbox "Use the sender's email address as "from" address" os setting ON and OFF


When I change Email settings to Sendmail I receive email:

Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

Here is my website: www.car-brochures.one.pl
I Enabled debug mode for everyone.
Now I`m using "Sendmail"

Do you have any idea how to solve the problem?

[Αndré]

In "From" field must be email address authorized in SPF filter - in this case onet.pl

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<jwidla@onet.eu>:
    host mx.poczta.onet.pl [213.180.147.146]: 554 5.7.1 <jwidla@onet.eu>:
    Recipient address rejected: Spf check: fail

Please review your Coppermine setting "Gallery administrator email". I assume it's currently jwidla@onet.eu but has to be something like jwidla@onet.pl.

[qba]

Address jwidla@onet.eu is correct and is providing by onet.pl

[Αndré]

But your email provider doesn't allow onet.eu addresses as from address. Of course we could hard-code a different email address as sender address (e.g. no-reply@onet.pl) if you don't have a valid @onet.pl address.

[qba]

It could work... How to change it?

[Αndré]

Open include/mailer.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand

$sender_email = CPGPluginAPI::filter('cpg_mail_sender_email', $sender_email);
and below, add something like

Code Select Expand

$sender_email = 'no-reply@onet.pl';

[qba]

Doesn`t work

Now I`ve changed sending emails by smtp.

Result:

ErrorFailed to send email. Please try again later.

File: /home/qba/public_html/automobilia/contact.php - Line: 211

[Αndré]

So sendmail works as expected?

[qba]

Sendemail works with result as above (not so good)

SMTP doesn`t work

[Αndré]

Sorry, I somehow thought that my email was delivered, which is obviously not the case.

Please attach your modified include/mailer.inc.php file as zip file to your next reply.

[qba]

The mailer.inc.zip file

[Αndré]

Open include/mailer.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand

$mail->Sender = $CONFIG['gallery_admin_email'];
and replace with

Code Select Expand

$mail->Sender = 'no-reply@onet.pl';

[qba]

Unfortunatly still doesn`t work

[qba]

Error Failed to send email. Please try again later.

[Αndré]

Does the PHP function mail works as expected?
