Email issues NEED HELP Please

[011399]

My email is not working and I cannot figure out why. Ive changed and messed around with all the settings within zen cart for smtp and checked with go daddy on my setting which are correct. I do not receive emails from contact us nor tell a friend.

I also did this seen on older posts and email works fine here :

Hmm, the 'take two aspirins and call me in the morning response. The simplest way to test is to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator.

If you take the following code, and paste it into a file, call it mailtest.php or something and edit it to use real email addresses. Then copy it into the main folder of your site, and open it with a browser, with http://www.yourdomain.com/mailtest.php


Code:
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>It is simply a small piece of PHP code calling the mail() function. If that works, then you have some broken files or similar in your Zen Cart install. If not, your hosts are lying through their teeth.

Now this works and nothing from website works. Any ideas ?
Thanks !!!

I had similar problems when setting up a BlueHost store for a friend and we finally had to set it to:

E-Mail Transport Method PHP
E-Mail Linefeeds LF
Use MIME HTML
When Sending Emails true
Send E-Mails true
Email Archiving Active? false
E-Mail Friendly- Errors true
Email Address (Displayed to Contact you) your-email-here
Email Address (sent FROM) your-email-here

where mine is set up for sendmail/LF

have you checked on your server's c-panel to see if the email is in there...hers would show in the c-panel/email but not get sent until we switched her to php

also in store admin make sure the cookie is set to cookie domain -- true and use root path for cookie path is set to ---false

if it does not work with the php setting then try one of the others too

Yes logged into godaddy all day long trying different settings. Nothings in there either, weird thing is that slowly and i mean very slowly about 30-45 minutes apart some of my test emails are coming through from 4 hours ago.

where do i find cookie domain in the admin ?

aha the plot thickens...lol that is the same thing that was happening to her too...delay in getting the messages...do you happen to have a forum with them too?

anyway the cookie bit is in the sessions section of your admin.configuration

did you try all the setting in email options post what you have---less the email address. we had to put her email address there and make the account over 3 times with her host before things got straight--of course they too said it was the right settings according to their setup but then could not explain why it did not work
