configuration for PHP e-mail?

Hi,
I am running forum supported by vBulletin.
It is appears that I have a problem to send E-mail
from vBulletin.

I guess, this problem is because of incorrect
configuration of PHP on server.
My host has a new server. My forum was transferred
from an old to a new server. It may happen, that host
did not configure PHP e-mail options right.

Host is asking about error message. But, I have not
any error message.
Just e-mails from vBulletin are not going through.

What exactly I should ask my host?
Where to look for PHP e-mail configuration?
What to configure?

Thank you.

Write yourself a test script and run it to see what errors you get. The errors will probably allow you to find out what's setup wrongly.

Hi,
Send e-mail test from vBulletin is giving me these settings for Linux server:
SMTP: localhost
sendmail_from: None
sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Such settings are not giving me a chance to send e-mails out.

Should host change
sendmail_from: None
from “None” to some e-mail address?

Thank you.

I've copied out part of the php.ini file below:



So since you're using sendmail_path you're using a Unix/Linux based system so you shouldn't need to specify the sendmail_from setting. If you create the test code I wrote, what error message is displayed? Have you contacted your host to see if they're having any problems?

Hi,
My host is working on this since yesterday.

The point is that my e-mail test for PHP vBulletin forum at is giving me this:

SMTP: localhost
sendmail_from: None
sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t –i

I am able to send e-mail and receive e-mail from PHP vBulletin to e-mail address at domain hosted at this Linux server.

But, e-mails are not going to yahoo.com or hotmail.com e-mail addresses. It seams it is working well only inside local host Linux server.

I am not an expert in this. Do you have an idea.

Thank you.

Then this means there is something wrong with the way the mail server is configured. You need to get your host to solve this problem.
