I've the same problem ! No solution has been found than take the old file "functions_email.php" of my version zencart 1.2.6.

I just make upgrade from 1.2.6 to 1.3.7.

Currently, it's impossible to make an order or send a mail throw zencart.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks

PS : I've try PHP method and I have the followinf error :
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions/functions_email.php:144) in /includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 44

Is there any other information shown on-screen at this point ?


'PHP' is usually the method you need to use if you were using sendmail before but sendmail is not working after upgrade.

I have the same problem and the option for PHP doesn't exist in this new, fresh installation I have made. I have only the options for smtp, SMTPAUTH, sendmail and sendmail -f there!
Is there some corrupted file or is this php option deprecated or something?

Ellivir, what version of Zen Cart have you installed?

I have the same problem.
I have just upgraded to 1.3.7 (including databse)
and tried a test order, pay by check, and, acting as a customer got
"email error:could not execute /usr/sbin/sendmail"


permissions on class.phpmailer.php are they are.
owner/ read write
group/ read
others/ read

I cant say what was happening before upgrade, cos I couldn't even register a customer on the previous version...it just kept returning
create customer page, although that was when I had a shared SSL, and I am not using one at the moment just to keep it less complicated.

if the error is "could not execute" do I need to change the permissions?
Only guessing,
cheers

Ahh
Found the Email transport method which had defaulted to sendmail
When I changed to PHP, the process processed and I got the emails as customer and store owner.
