Email problem again

Hi ALL,

I'm a newbie in opencart.
My opencart was installed successfully, and customer can purchase goods in the web.
But I found there is no order confirmation send to the customer (test by myself).
Then I test mail function in Admin/Customer/Mail. The page show "Your message has been successfully sent!" but the testing customer account received nothing.

Please kindly help what steps I'm missing.

One more question, is there no need to setup smtp when installing opencart? Or I need to configure
other things in my server?

My server: fresh install Fedora 9, updated all patch.

Thank you

Check the payment method doesn't have it's status set to cancelled.

hi phpuk, thanks your help.
You mean edit "admin/Extensions/Payment/(my payment - COD only)/order status" to cancel?
umm ... have tried but it seems no work ..

Should i setup sendmail in my server since i have seen mail.php is using sendmail function.
