where is the error? i have the seetings according to the host abe he also gave me the following. "usr/sbin/sendmail"

i'm desperate. so i also went over the class.phpmailer.php and in line 116...

shouldn't it say "var $Mailer = "sendmail" instead of
"var $Mailer = "mail"?

and in line 122...

The support guy insisted that the setting is "usr/sbin/sendmail" and not "/usr/sbin/sendmail"

the thing is that i can send text-only mails but as soon as i change to mime html mails they stop working. the server said HTML mails are allowed by the server.

so... PLEASE HELP :lamo:

As of v1.3.6 you can now test this ...

Trying changing your email transport to using php as the email transport method as a test ...

this is a wired error...

I can send out GV in html, i can receive mails from customers using the contact us page but i can not use but i can NOT use "admin" -> "tools" -> "send Email"

i did as you suggested. changed sendmail to php. and still the same acting.

i'm using 1.3.6.

Well ... edit the path as your support claims their server is setup ... not sure why it would be set that way and how 90% of your email works when 100% is using the same email routine ...

Does it work? This would be very, very strange ...

Or, set up a test directory with a test database install the test demo data ...

Does it work? If so, then you have something not set right in your shop ...

Even with the settings to PHP. i can NOT send html mails. :( i wouldn't even know where else i could look. i have the settings from my host and set zen cart according to it. then changed it to php. and still nothing. where did i mess up?

Presuming this is a Linux Server:

Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails false

Ask the Server what the correct sendmail path is: Tools > Server info
search for: sendmail_path

Website Rob:

Presuming this is a Linux Server:

Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails false

The server IS a Linux server. that, i know. but... How would i be able to send html mails IF i set MIME HTML to false?

the "send_mail path" is: ** /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i **

Was this problem fixed as I am having the same issue.

I cannot send HTML emails no matter what I change the settings to. my "send mail path" is the same as the above posters.

It is a Linux server from midphase.

E-Mail Transport Method PHP
E-Mail Linefeeds LF Info
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails true Info
Send E-Mails true Info
Email Archiving Active? false Info
E-Mail Friendly-Errors false Info
Emails must send from known domain? No Info
Email Admin Format? HTML

those are my current settings

it can be the host... my host just doesn't allow html mail. i wouldn't recoment to use this host: Dot 5 Hosting. They are cheap but the customer support sucks, they don't offer dedicated ssl (not even 3rd party), don't allow html emails (TXT only)

Well I got the admin and welcome emails to send as HTML but the change in order status emails and order confirmation emails don't send as HTML...any ideas?

Have you any add-ons?

I cannot reproduce a problem on this ...

If the customer is set to HTML email and I have MIME turned on then the updates on Orders Status send out in HTML ...

It had to do with one of the emails I was sending to was actually a default email in the email settings (I forgot to change one) and thus it was like you were sending the "admin"...problem fixed and works great now.

My next product is to take the Purchase Orders contribution and change it to HTML as opposed to text. Any ideas on how to do this?

What is the file that sends out order status emails? That might help give me an idea :)

I have not used the Purchase Orders module in a long time to know what is in the module vs using the email info from the orders class ...
