Big sendmail problem

Hi All,

I copied my site without any problems untill I found out that my contact form doesn't work. In fact sendmail doesn't work at all.

On a new install: none of the options work. I checked my sendmail path and that was ok. Mail doesn't work

On the copied site: In the admin menu the mail config won't show...

So, found out that "Authorization is required to relay through this domain" was checked. I listed the two domains as trusted but it still doesn't work.

Don't quote me on this, but you might want to check with your web host. I seem to recall someone sayoing once that sendmail options don't work on all web hosts due to spamming etc. But I could well be wrong.

Thats what I just tried by allowing relay, but it also didn't work. In the Ensim applianci administrator control panel I can change some email settings, allowing some domains or just opening the gates

Now I start to think that there might be a path problem...

The other problem with the config page not showing up bothers me more.

Re: Big sendmail problem

Are you sure that you have to use the sendmail option and not php_mail? If the same server does your email than php_mail usually works. I don't know what options you have in the server control panel but you typically only need to allow "localhost" and your own domain for relay.

Of course you might have to use authenticated sendmail but the host would have given you the specs, server, id, password..

oh, what are the server specs? Linux/MS, apache/IIS, php version, XOOPS versions, etc.

Hi DonXoop,

Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora)
Ensim Control Panel

There used to be an issue with my nameserver settings, that might be the problem... but I'm not sure.

I tried every option except SMTP.

Re: Big sendmail problem

Your hosting account should have specs for sending email. The SMTP option is used if the sending server isn't the same as your web server. Check the host server, ask "what specs do I use to send email from the web server?".

You can get a lot of server info from a php_info() page. Create a text file with a .php extention with the following line in it:
(); ?>

Thanks

Got this from phpinfo:

sendmail_from no value no value
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
serialize_precision 100 100
short_open_tag On On
SMTP localhost localhost
smtp_port 25 25

Can I send you the phpinfo by PM? Maybe you'll see the problem...

See, this is strange:

SCRIPT_URL /poink.be/testphp.php
SCRIPT_URI http://ns1.webclub.com/poink.be/testphp.php
SITE_ROOT /home/virtual/site1/fst
SITE_HTMLROOT /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html
SITE_CGIROOT /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/cgi-bin

But my ns should be ns1.kimokea.com
