tip a friend error

Tuesday 14 December 2004 1:21:30 pm

When I attempt to use the tip a friend option, I get the following error with 3.5.0rc2:

Error sending SMTP mail: No sender yet given

I confirmed that I have EmailSender= configured in settings/siteaccess/plain/site.ini.append.php and the SMTP server is configured in settings/override/site.ini.append.php

The feedback form appears to be sending e-mail correctly, however, this is the first time I attempt to use the tip a friend option. Is there more configuration required for this feature?

Ok, I got it...

The problem is within the tipafriend.tpl, the

<input class="box" type="text" size="40" name="YourName" value="{$your_name|wash}" />
<input class="box" type="text" size="40" name="YourEmail" value="{$your_email|wash}" />

overrides the $mail->Sender(), which should be set to your mailbox data
to authentificate correctly with the SMTP Server.

array(2) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(14) ""
  ["email"]=>
  string(19) "admin@myezsite.com"
}

is overwritten to:

array(2) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(14) "$your_name"
  ["email"]=>
  string(19) "$email"
}

Therefore the SMTP Server returns:

SMTP<< 451 rejected: temporarily unable to verify sender address (try aga=
in later) <$email>
  SMTP<< 503 No sender yet given

The tipafriend.tpl should be modified to work correctly with SMTP Servers which need authentification.

Hint: The feedback package is not affected by that problem and works fine !

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards
