    Default VPS and Yahoo Email Addresses

    We were on a shared server but moved to a VPS. When we were on a shared server, we were able to send to Yahoo email addresses. Now, we are having a problem sending to Yahoo email addresses from Zen Cart. Emails sent through Zen Cart to Yahoo never arrive to their respective addresses. We receive no error message. Emails sent to Yahoo through an email client (Thunderbird) or through webmail on the server do arrive. Additionally, emails arrive to Hotmail, AOL and GMail when sent through Zen Cart, an email client (Thunderbird) and webmail. Help! :)

    These are our settings under Configuration-->Email Options:

    E-Mail Transport Method sendmail --------->USE TO BE PHP WHEN ON SHARED SERVER. YAHOO EMAIL ACCOUNTS DO NOT RECEIVE WITH SENDMAIL OR PHP

    Default Re: VPS and Yahoo Email Addresses

    Can you test this program?
    (VPS is windows or non-Windows?)
    Code:
    <?
    $to = "yahoo email id here";
    $subject = "Testing Yahoo delivery";
    $msg = "Testing why yahoo emails are not reaching!";
    $headers = "From: [email protected]\nReply-To: [email protected]";
    
    mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers");
    echo "Email sent!";
    ?>
    and let me know if you recieve the email or not

    Additionally in php.ini check if the sendmail_path is correct (this canbe checked using phpinfo too)

    Additionally in php.ini check if the sendmail_path is correct (this canbe checked using phpinfo too)
    The info.php file says the following about sendmail:
    sendmail_fromno valueno value sendmail_path/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
    I do not know if this is correct or not.

    Additionally, what program are you talking about? Baby talk a bit... am I suppose to save what you typed in a PHP file and put it on the server? Please elaborate. More steps would be great.

    We still can't send to Yahoo email addresses from Zen Cart.

    Thanks!

    Ran the program. One with yahoo email the program said email send. But yahoo mail was not received.

    Tested with hotmail email. This time received the email in hotmail address.

    Not sure what email setting is the issue with yahoo emails.

    Thanks

    If I were you, I would contact the host to find out the cause as it seems like the server problem. Which spam program is server using?
