Outgoing email - no message when failure

If I send an email to f.ex. a nonexistent adresss from my ordinary email client I always get a message back that the email did not come through.

When sending emails from ez-publish (I use the mailinglist extension) I get no such messages when the email-sending does not succeed. That is a big problem because I can not be sure that my emails has been received...

Any solutions?

(I use the Sendmail option, SMTP does not work).

Best regards,
Øivind G.

Hi Øivind,

Check in e-mail source if header Return-Path is correct. This header is uses to notify sender about errors with delivering.

Thanks for answer.

I have checked the Return-path - and that is the one which is wrong (is set to a standard path from the service provider).

(Have now got the SMTP to work - so I have tested both SMTP and sendmail).

How can I set the Return-path to webmasters email address??? (Seems not affected by the AdminEmail or EmailSender settings in site.ini).

I am using release 3.4.2

Hi Øivind,

You will have to manualy add this header in mailinglist code.

This extension probadly uses lib/ezutils/classes/ezsmtp.php

In this file you find "Function which handles sending the mail. " with one of paramteres is "headers - Indexed array of headers, one header per array entry "

I hope it will help.

Thanks.

I have looked at some of the programs - even if I am not a PHP programmer... For me it seems that it is the ezMail program that is used. The "setReceiver" function etc is called from the mailinglist program. In ezMail it is a function called setExtraHeaders, which I would presume is for the return-path etc. So I tried to modify the mailinglist program:

$mail = new eZMail();
$mail->setReceiver($email);
$mail->setSender($params['from']);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mail->setBody($result);
$mail->setExtraHeaders(array('Return-path','[email protected]')); (this line is new...)
$mailResult = eZMailTransport::send($mail);

The program works - but I still do not get a new return-path in my email.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Try with

$mail->setExtraHeader('Return-path','[email protected]');

Which mailserver do you uses?

Same result...

My mailserver is mail.hornet.no.

Sendmail and SMTP is both working.
