Problem sending mail in 1.3.5 SMTP sender-address error

Hi,

I am running a Zen Cart store on my local machine and have no problems with sending emails via Tools > Send Email for 1.3.0.x

After upgrading to 1.3.5, I'm not able to send emails via Tools > Send Email again. There are no error messages displayed on sending the email from the admin but when I checked my SMTP server, it seems like there is a "malformed" sender email address.

For example, if the sender email address is configured as "[email protected]" in Configuration > Email Options, and the store name is set as "Test Store" in Configuration > My Store. Then the actual sender email received by the SMTP server is "Test Store [email protected]" which causes the mail server to discard the email.

Wonder if there's something I missed in my configuration? Btw, I've already applied the fix suggested in this forum for the STMP port but the problem still persists.

Thanks.

What do you have set for Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Emails must send from known domain?

Since you mention it failing only when using the Tools->Send Email feature, you could go back to the v1.3.0.2 version of the /admin/mail.php file if you don't mind losing HTML editing features.

Granted, I can't see anything in the mail infrastructure nor in that script that would cause malformed email addresses for that tool only, esp when comparing vs 1.3.0.2.

Here's my configuration for an SMTP mail server running on a windows machine.

My Configuration > Email Options settings are as follows:

E-Mail Transport Method = smtp
E-Mail Linefeeds = CRLF
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails = false
Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS = false
Send E-Mails = true
Emails must send from known domain? = false

Strangely, the problem has gone away after I set E-Mail Transport Method from "smtp" to "sendmail" and then back to "smtp" again!

I've re-checked my settings and confirmed that my problem appears only when the E-Mail Transport Method = "sendmail" for an SMTP server.

Sorry for the trouble...

I also have noticed a problem using sendmail with CRLF selected and use Mime HTML set to true.

It sends the email but doesn't include the sender email Ie storename. It also shows the phpmailer text
