All Emails Not Working

I have tried every suggestion on this forum and cannot get any emails to work!

• Cron job emails
• Contact Us emails
• New member notifications

None of it is working.  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Me too…..

No notification emails being sent to admin, or members, or from mass mailer in members panel in admin

“contact us” emails from the site bring up a “Email send failed” message.

Same with tell a friend etc.

It seems like the whole outgoing email function has stopped functioning.

Anyone get any ideas or suggestions.

Have you checked inc/header.inc.php

$site['email'] = "email@your_domain";

$site['email_notify'] = "email@your_domain";

$site['bugReportMail'] = "email@your_domain";

Yes, my emails are all correct in inc/header.inc.php.

Yeah me too……

I checked the inc/header.inc.php…….and I also tried putting another email address in there to see if it would send to a different email address…..but it didn’t…..so I changed it back.

I bypassed the “contact us” mail function by putting a new form and external mail script on the contact page and that works okay….so I assume that it is not a problem with the email address….but something in the dolphin script.

Is there a main mail handling script anywhere in the code?

Any other ideas?

Have you installed Dol. in the root folder or a subfolder!!
and were do you install it, on your computer, shared hosting, vps!!!!

were do you host it!!
URL to your site!

Hi

I have installed in the root folder….i.e. the address is www.the-ashram.com and it is on a shared host.

I have had the hosting company looking into this and I see that they have put us some test profiles…..but I still get no mail and their test profiles are unconfirmed so I guess that they aren’t getting any either.

Hi

Have you added your $site['email'] to an email account on your domain and check spelling also.

$site['email'] I think, it have to be a email account on your server.

Ottar.

Yeah

The address in $site['email'] is the same as the address  of the mal account on the server.

The unusual thing is this……..if I send email to that email address it comes through okay….so the address itself is good and the mail function on the server is working okay.

It’s just when it comes to sending mail from my dolphin site that things go wrong. I think I’ll try a fresh install…..as I’ve tried everything else I can think of.

And there is not a lot of data about this problem.

Freddy.

I am having the same problem, No conformation emails are sending out, or retrieve email for password. After manually activating a member, It will still not let me login.

my site is www.sextalkforums.net/forums/

It's a freshly installed version and just a plain install so far. I can get emails to send from my adult store or through a small php script and all emails are sending fine, except from dolphin. My next Step would be to reinstall and start over, good thing it's a new install :) No members yet. If you have a good answer, (I have read most of the forums and yes, cron jobs work, getting emails fine, header.inc.php file has correct emails. spelling, and all obvious settings are working) like check this php file or corrupt or missing file this bug was found or something useful not repeated in dozens of site and posts that are having the same issues.

Still having an issue with this.

All of the above has been checked and verified as correct.

Think I may just go 3rd party.

It looked like I've got the same problem with a new install.

Did you ever find an answer to this problem?

Thanks,

Gary

Are all the cron jobs set up right?

And by the way, Orca falls apart gorgeously here. Wonderful overlapping text. POS..

I've got the emails working now.

For the site email address ( $site['email_notify'] ) it had to be coming from my domain. I had it sending to another domain that I monitor. The other two addresses are working being sent outside of my domain.

For Tell A Friend I had to hard code my domain address in "tellafriend.php" I think its line 80. When the popup comes up it has that email address in it, and it will work unless its changed. Tellafriend also worked if it was coming from "@Domain.com", and I don't know why.

My problem and I suppect it maybe happening to others is that hosting companies (my two anyway) won't send an email if its coming from an address not one in my account. So an email from "something@yahoo.com" won't be sent from "MarketingSoftwareGroup.com".

To be safe create a email account "nobody@YOURDOMAIN.COM" and use that address for NOTIFY in $site['email_notify'], and it should work.

How many SMTP RELAYS YOU GOT?

for hosted server your default is 1000 emails per day

shared servers 250 emails per day.

I guess I've never broken any SMTP RELAY limits I don't know what it is. If you're asking about my mail limits I think its 500 per minute on shared server. The daily limit is alot, but I don't know exactly.

YEAH!! It works!! .. I host with yahoo and ya  My domain and email wasnt same!! thanks OKWEB!!

Simular problem

What i did was to make sure that i had the admin e-mail in my header.inc.php - i misspeled it, as soon as i corrected the spelling my emails start going through.
