No emails are being sent from Sugar.

[oneworldteam]

Sugar Version : 4.5.1
Sugar Edition : OS
Category : EMAIL
Operating System : LINUX Server, Windows XP Client
PHP Version : PHP Version 4.4.4
Database : MySQL 3.23.49
Web Server : Apache

No emails are being sent from Sugar.

Configured for SENDMAIL..

No matter what I do, no emails are recieved to the target email address. In basic email features, or campaigns..

It all appears to work but no emails are recieved. This is a fresh install, with the following modules :

ZuckerReports
Forum Threads
PowerProspects

I have gone through the docs, followed the guides for creating campaings etc.. Can perform TEST Email, Mail Outs etc.. Problem is they are not recieved. I have tried different email addresses, checked and re checked email addresses.

Not recieveing any emails

Emails appear in EMAIL que, and in EMAIL sent folders etc. But they are not recieved.


Any help would be much appreciated. My SUGAR CRM progress has come to a grinding HALT!


Cheers

PS - I created a Sendmail.php script to test Sendmail function on the server and it works fine.

Hi

How did you setup sendmail in Win XP?

[oneworldteam]

Operating System : LINUX Server, Windows XP Client

Ok got it working using SMTP... But Sendmail seems dead..

I had to setup a seperate Local host email account for sending mail.

SMTP working..
Surgar Sendmail NOT working..
Server Sendmail tested and works with sendmail.php script.

I think this Explains why SMTP works and SENDMAIL dosnt. This information came form my WebHost.

PROBLEM: Sendmail does not work or does not accept my optional arguments.

First make sure you have the correct path to sendmail which is /usr/sbin/sendmail

If you have the correct path, then you may need to know that sendmail is actually a symbolic link to another program called /usr/local/bin/mini_sendmail

Mini_sendmail accepts stdin and passes it on to an smtp server, behaving almost exactly like the real sendmail. The reason for using mini_sendmail is because you are inside a chrooted environment and you do not have access to the real sendmail. This type of circumstance was discussed publicly here.

Information about mini_sendmail can be obtained here or here.

Many times, what you are trying to do does not work because you are feeding options or flags to mini_sendmail that it does not understand like: -bm -f -oem -oi

Many times those options are unnecessary. Try just omitting them, calling mini_sendmail like this:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t
