Hi,
I have a very strange behavior.

i test , and make an order and receive the mail as client but no mail to the admin saying an order as been proceed.
but i receive (admin) the mail saying the article i use to test was low in stock

any help

Have you still got your email address in ...

admin->configuration->email options->Send Copy of Order Confirmation Emails To:

yes
i am trying debug this and i read full email header and see something really bad :

X-Source-Args: /usr/bin/php orders.php
X-Source-Dir: MYDOMAIN:/public_html/My_ADMIN_DIR_RENAME

that's bad because even if i rename my admin dir client can still know where it is

anyway to change that ?

X-Source-yyyyy headers are being added by your webserver.

Nothing much you can do about that other than ask your host to turn that feature off, or switch to a host who doesn't do that.

Hmmm ... you might try using SMTPAUTH mail method to see if it might bypass the PHP details...

Could anyone tell me if I am able to move the files in question to a different folder on the server away from my admin folders and if so, what other files would need to be changed so that everything still works as should be.

I have this problem with sending emails and have contacted my hosts. It is not only affecting emails that I send out but is also present on newsletters too. Just host have told me that I have to have a dedicated server to remove this information but that would cost me $150 a month which I just don't have. I also cannot afford to move my site at the moment either.

I'd really appreciate any help or advise you can give.

Thanks Debbie.

You'd have to do some fancy custom coding to move your various admin functions to someplace outside your admin area ... for each script that sends emails from your admin site. It's not a simple 15-minute task.

Thank you Dr Byte,

I'm not very good with coding at the best of times so I guess I am snookered in that respect. I really appreciate your time in answering.

Oh well, best start saving LOL!
