Mail not sending

[tellar]

Hi I am running oscommerce using ispconfig on ubuntu,

the problem that i am having is that mail generated by oscommerce is not being sent out, I have tried to change the domain and co domains to external mailserver and have ticked create mx records but its still not working. any ideas?

[Hawker]

In apache directives for that site add

php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f your@oscommerce_email.address"

Restart apache

I have added the directive and mail is still not sending anything else to try?

It works for me, but you might try adding an alias to one of the email accounts that matches the oscommerce email name.

nope that didn't work either'its a massive problem, customers can not reset password and do not recieve confermation e-mail and such. any other ideas as to what should fix this?

[Hawker]

At this point I'd have to say look at your mail logs to see exactly what's happening.

i can see that the mail gets sent but it is never deliver does this log result show why?

The only thing I can think of is the path in the apache directive might be wrong.

Type
which sendmail

and it will give the correct path to sendmail.

Ok so I have found the problem, my mail company who I left the mail with when i changed to my own server has a policy #$%#%$# , so i changed the address in os commerce and in the apache directive and its working. thanks for all your help I now know how to find and trail my logs great!
