Contact Us email issues

When trying to test the Contact Us page I get this error:
Email Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected]

I have tried a vast array of configurations:
Transport methods, port, host, etc. Optimum settings seem to get me the reciepients failed error. Current settings listed below.

Per suggestions in other links: removed pull down menu of emails addresses, set, and MINE=true.

Have contact web host (Brinkster), they can't figure it out either.

in Admin/Tools/Sever-Version info
There is a line SMPT = LOCALHOST.
Does this need to be changed to the same Host as in the email configuration?

Any other suggestions?

Re: Contact Us email issues

Sorry ... that was the first thing to come to mind ... now I am not sure what your problem is ...

Make sure you can email that address from something else (like hotmail) and receive email on that address ...

Re: Contact Us email issues

Combinate of the following seems to be working for the Contact Us page:
E-Mail Transport Method smtp
SMTP Email Mail Host mail.fabfotoframes.com
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 25 (seems to work with this blank)
This in combination of fixing the typo fixed the Contact page.

Then tried new client creating, getting same error when registration finishes and the email tries to send.
Email Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected] (using my home email)

Also made the following changes...
Class.phpmailer.php
Added to HOST line: "mail.fabfotoframes.com;localhost"
Changed SMTAuth = true was false

Re: Contact Us email issues

rweeks:

SMTP Error: The following recipients failed

That message is triggered when the mailserver that your store is attempting to talk to says that it doesn't like the email address you're trying to send to.

I recommend checking the mailserver's error logs for more detailed explanation of the problem.

When running on Windows hosts, the use of SMTPAUTH is recommended -- will need to specify SMTP username, password, host and port. SMTPAUTH causes you to log in and be as accurately authenticated as possible, minimizing most error possibilities.

But if your mailserver doesn't like the recipient, there's not much you can do about it from your cart side.

As an aside, I've attempted to use Zen Cart on a couple sites hosted by Brinkster and always ran into that kind of problem (plus a few others). There was never a solution available other than finding a different host ... after which things worked flawlessly within minutes.
