    It's always useful to know "what" the error message is ...

    Error Notice: FAILED to send Email to all recipients: [email protected] (0)

    That is the message I get when I try to send an email while logged into admin. Is there some way to get a more specific error message so that I know which part of the configuration is incorrect?

    Are *all* outgoing emails failing? or just from that one admin page?

    Nothing is going out at all. Orders have been placed and we don't receive the order information email and the client doesn't receive their order confirmation email.
    its probably just a setting in the email options but I've been through every setting possible in there and its still not working.

    Have you tried using port 25 instead of 26? While more and more hosts are using 26, it's not a universally-available option.

    If your webserver still thinks that it has email on the same server, it may mistakenly be routing everything through itself instead of through the newly-established server.
    Zen Cart just hands off the mail to the mailserver, and it's the mailserver that handles all the sending including looking up mx details etc.

    I would recommend that your server administrator be the one to sort out your mail routing issues.

    Thanks for your help. I'm still going back and forth with the host but they are not being very helpful. It sounds like I will be moving my zencart website to a different host.
    I will post a reply if I figure this out. I can't imagine that I'm the only one hosting my email and website on different servers.

    Default Re: Email Accounts on different server than Website - can't send email

    Hi DrByte,

    We recently noticed that the email in admin is giving that same error message, it was working before we installed the newsletter mod, and when I looked at the server they recommend port26 instead of port 25, I changed it to 26 to no avail.

    Any suggestions?

    Running 1.3.8a
