Customer doesn't receive emails, I receive copies

Hi,

When a user registers, or places an order, they don't receive an email, but I receive a copy. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

I am using v1.3.6.

I have tested using Gmail and Mail.com addresses to register, and in both cases I receive copies, but the customer does not.

My email settings are as follows:

Title Value Action
E-Mail Transport Method smtp
E-Mail Linefeeds LF
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails false
Send E-Mails true
Email Archiving Active? false
E-Mail Friendly-Errors true
Email Address (Displayed to Contact you) info@.co.uk
Email Address (sent FROM) info@
.co.uk
Emails must send from known domain? No
Email Admin Format? TEXT

Re: Customer doesn't receive emails, I receive copies

  1. what domain are these customers at?
    ... a) Is your hosting company's server blacklisted by their domain?
    ... b) have you tested multiple non-free email destinations ? Sometimes hotmail and yahoo accounts will dump unexpected emails

  2. have you tried using SMTPAUTH as well as your current SMTP transport method?

  3. There are a number of additional things explained in this article:

Thanks for the reply.

Tested with a non-free email and it works, the customer receives an email.

I will try SMTPAUTH to see if that will stop the free accounts stopping the emails coming in.

Switching over to SMTPAUTH did the trick.

Thanks!
