Email Delivery Issues

Post by skumar96 »

Hello,
i am facing some issues with email delivery and notifications. The issues are

1. When a user registers, the admin is getting notification that a new user is registers and to activate the user, but the user never gets an email/notification stating registration activated or access details, etc. In this case how the user is going to login and submit questions.

2. User is not getting notifications of the question he/she posted or when his/her question is answered.

3. Admin not getting notifications of a new question posted

Please note: i have set up the mail settings in the portal and have checked and is working fine.
The next query is, is it possible to auto activate the user instead of admin activating the user?

Thanks
Thorsten

Hi,

do you see any log entries in your mail server log?

About auto-activating: Add a group with permissions you want to give users and set the auto-join checkbox.

Dear Thorsten,
i have one more question, the emails delivered by the application for all the communications to admin as well as users i.e. new registration, password, question answered, etc all shows the actual email id that i have set up. I need your help on this issue. I want instead of the email id, the receiver should see the application name.
For e.g. when a question is answered or when a question is post, the user as well as the admin see the email xyz@domain.com (as from) with the subject, instead of that the user and the admin should see Application Name (as from) and the subject in the email box.

Please advise

Thanks
Sapan

HI,

for all e-mails? If yes, please search the source code for the PMF_Mail class, there you can set the "from" setting

I am also having the same issue. I am getting emails to the administrator user but users are not getting emails when they register with their credentials when they are activated.

Can you tell me where in the code it is sending the email when a new user registers so I can take a look at what might be wrong?

For the other people with this issue, I fixed it by doing the following changes:

update line 72 in admin/ajax.user.php to:

Code: Select all

case 'activate_user':
            $user->getUserById($userId, true);
            $user->setStatus('blocked');
            $user->activateUser();
            echo json_encode($user->getStatus());
            break;
update line 23 in in/pmf/mail/swiftsmtp.php to:

Code: Select all

require_once __DIR__ . '/../../libs/swiftmailer/swift_required.php';

I haven't gotten that far with the product yet, once I get that far I'll check to see why it isn't sending.
