Are you using Google Apps for your domain's e-mail?

Does your SPF record look like this?

v=spf1 a include:_spf.google.com ~all

You mentioned when you used phpMail instead of SMTP you were getting a success message but the e-mails weren't being delivered, which makes me think they are being flagged as Spam and are going to your Spam box. The SPF record above should help to prevent that.

Alternatively, you might want to check with your host if they are blocking some port or don't allow phpMail. GoDaddy isn't exactly the best hosting company...

Unfortunately the mail.calss of OC is buggy since years.
Also the current version - e.g. adding to many LF where it should not.
Result is, many emails are categorized as Spam, while they are not.

Replacing the mail.class completely with another, solves this and many other problems.
Just get the replacement (use phpMailer) here (vQmod):
http://osworx.net/de/downloads/cat_view ... s/80-tools
and it should work.

That's interesting OSWorX, because I just had someone tell me they weren't getting new customer and new order alerts anymore as well, and I've seen a lot of posts on the forum lately of people who are having the same issues with mail not being sent.

What exactly is causing this? Could you elaborate why the mail.class is "buggy"? Just to satisfy my own curiosity.

For example, only this line:

Code: Select all

$message .= '--' . $boundary . '--' . $this->newline;
added always 2.5 points to the spam score (SpamAssassin 3.3.1).
And some more because of other reasons like wrong encoding of the subject.

Overall always between 5.6 and 6.2 (limit is set to 5.0) - therefore marked as spam.

With the replacement I have now always -1.9 - and no problems anymore.

In this forum we have and have had many discussions about the mail.class and how to solve.
Daniel tried many things the last years - but it is still buggy.

You will not be able to send email via Gmail's servers using Go Daddy hosting. You will have to use our relay server-- relay-hosting.secureserver.net-- on port 25 to send emails. You do not need to specify a username or password with this relay server.

Settings as usual via Settings > Email (if secure ports are defined, the module will enable automatically the correct protocol SSL/TLS).

Just define there the given godaddy settings.

As you host on Go Daddy you cannot send via Google.

The Mail Protocol should be Mail.
The Host should be relay-hosting.secureserver.net.
The user and password should be left blank.
Port should be 25.

Glad to see that it works now.
And for that delay, just use a better provider.

You can provide the headers of a delayed message to our support team and they can review to see if something is wrong or if it is just a normal delay due to a shared resource.
