Mail() function ?

[B]Hi Interworx Team,

I have any questions about php mail() function :

  • when the interworx was just install, is the function it activates or not?
  • [/B] [B]so not, how must one activate it ?

I ask you these questions because I have problems of sending of e-mail, I have created “inscription.php” who sending mail but it doesn’t work. [/B][B] In testing by a forum, it is the same problem.

I tested with this code :

[/B]

 <?php  mail('admin@espace4you.org', 'Subject', 'Hi!'); ?> 

[B]

                                             it functioned not either.

Why I can’t send e-mail with this function ? :confused::confused:
If you have a solution please ?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

The php mail function should work fine.

You should check the /var/log/send/current log file to see if the message is getting injected into the mail queue or not. If there is evidence of that message in the logs, there will probably also be an error describing why the message wasn’t delivered.

[B]Hi Paul,

I have this message in /var/log/send/current

                                              that does not speak to me... but can be that you yes.  If you have the solution, please ?                                                   I think that it is a problem of configuration of my share ... :o:o:o

Thank you in advance for your answer

It looks to me like the problem is probably that DNS for the hostname hades.espace4u.org is not set up to resolve to any IP address.

Paul

If I understood well, thus I must add hades.espace4you.org in my zone DNS ?

If somebody can answer me, please ?

I suggest just giving that a try :slight_smile: if that doesn’t work repost.

Clint

Ok thanks Blahrus :slight_smile:

[B]Hi all,

I tested in adding hades.espace4you.org in my DNS zone but the problem persist :(.

If you are an other solution please ?

Thank you in advance for your answers

I believe it is a problem with your main “Authoritative” DNS.

Doing an NSLOOKUP on the URL hades.espace4you.org gives me an IP address, but seting the type to MX, I get the following response “** server can’t find hades.espace4you.org:: NXDOMAIN”. You should have this same problem for sending email, not just realted to PHP mail. It seems that there is no MX record for hades.espace4you.org. There is an MX for espace4you.org though.

Gimly, what does the mail log say now that you made the change, when you try to send.

Paul

[B]Hi Paul and Justec,

I created a DNS zone with hades.espace4you.org with A, CNAME, MX. [/B]I have test with php mail()[B] and now it function correctly i receive correctly the e-mail.

This is the /var/log/send/current

I’m running php 5.1.1 on the server and I’m also having issues with php mail(). We migrated a site over to our new server running Interworx and quickly noticed any script we were using the mail function was not working. I’ve read through every post in this forum about the problem and none seem to offer any solutions. Is there a problem with running a version of php higher than than the default 4.3.11?

I’m getting a lot of entries in my log like these two (wrong owner and trouble injecting bounce):

@400000004596392d1c8c99f4 delivery 16: deferral: Sorry,message_has_wrong_owner.(#4.3.5)/
@400000004596392d1c8d3e04 status: local 0/10 remote 0/255
@400000004596392d1c994bf4 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later

I’m beginning to have concern about my decision to switch from Plesk to Interworx. The migration process from one to the other has been slow since I keep running into odd things like this. I’ve never had any issues with Plesk for the past 6 years I’ve been running it. I was initially impressed with your control panel which is why I decided to give it a try on our new server. Please tell me I didn’t make a mistake.

Sounds like this is related to the other issue you were talking about in your other thread. Check the suggestions I mentioned there, and if that doesn’t resolve this problem, open a ticket with your root and nodeworx login information, and we’ll check it out.
