G'day guys

Hope you guys can help me solve this.
I cannot get the email working. No email was sent to regular user/admin after click "Buy now". Payment method is set COD. Is there any special email settings that i need to know apart from Email sender. I cant find it on the online manual.

The email works normal on "trysilvercart.com"(Order notification, Order confirmation was sent to user(not admin??))

Thanks in advance

Hi vitbeo,

you'll need to have a MTA like Postfix or Sendmail installed on your system.

Not sure if it is a general issue with SilverStripe or something specific to SilverCart. If you use the SilverStripe function to retrieve your password (http://yourdomain/Security/lostpassword), does this work?

You can add a global email recipient in the SilverCart config. This poor soul will from then on reveive a copy of each and every email sent by SilverCart.

Additionally, you can add an additional receiver on types of emails. You can add the additional recipient in the settings for Shop-Email.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Ramon,

This is confusing. I havent done anything relate to MTA and I don't really know What Postfix is. Do you mean install it as a module?

I could not reset my password either(../Security/lostpassword). The site is on localhost.

Hi vitbeo,

you need a program (MTA, mail transfer agent) that actually sends out the email. This has nothing to do with PHP, SilverStripe or SilverCart, it's a system administration issue. However, you could configure PHP not to use a local MTA but rather a SMTP server.

I dug up a thread from SilverStripe.org that might help you to configure SilverStripe with SMTP.

I understand now. Thanks man.
