Email not sent

[Engy]

Hello,

 

I try to send email but I don't receive anything, do you have any idea about that ?

Hi @Engy,

 

Do you look the best and trips forum, I wrote a little post about this problem.
Sendmail has a restriction by your hoster, you must use gmail or your own smtp.

Look and tell me if you have a problem.

I am looked more information about that and find a technical information

It can help you why you have a problem :

When you use PHP's mail() function (what PHPMailer uses by default), it opens a shell and calls a sendmail binary (a client program for submitting email messages from a command line) belonging to your local mail server. If you don't have a local mail server, it can't work, and you get the error you're seeing. You could get the same error if there is a mail server, but you don't have permission to run sendmail.  You need to do one of:  Install a mail server (such as postfix) Talk to a local server via SMTP (which will not be subject to permissions issues in the same way that mail() is) Use SMTP to send through a remote mail server, either your ISP's or some other server such as gmail (if your ISP allows outbound SMTP).

Note to continue the discussion : To see what's happen, you can make a test like that.

Go to ClicShopping/OM/Mail.php

change

 protected $debug = 0;

by

protected $debug = 2;

 

After this line :

 

add

exit;

 

and to finish send an email and see the result.

Thank you for all explanations.

What is 

 protected $debug = 2;

 

[Patrick]

this is a level debug. 0 is for production, 1-2 allow you some interesting informations if you have a problem to solve.
