Hi,
My site running on 2.0.3.1 version. I am having issue with email notification. I am not getting notification emails while sign up, order confirmation etc.
I have done general R&D like
1) Mail/SMTP configuration with and without -f parameters SMTP Port.
2) Checked for both Gmail account and personal domain account
3) Set email as registered email for sending mails via scripts (hostgator)
4) Added code sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i; in root and admin php.ini file

Then I changed,

Code: Select all

$header .= 'From: =?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;

from system/library/mail.php

Code: Select all

//$header .= 'From: =?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
$header .= 'From: XXXXX@mydomain.com' . $this->newline;

It works!!

posted for reference only as I suffered a lot and I don't want for others.....

There is already an existing extension on the marketplace that resolves this issue without having to manually set your email. This problem is rather related with the base64 encoding for some hosts.

Dedication and passion goes to those who are able to push and merge a project.

I have just changed the following code at system/library/mail.php
It works for me and I hope it will helpful to someone.

Original:

Code: Select all

$header .= 'Date: ' . date('D, d M Y H:i:s O') . $this->newline;
$header .= 'From: ' . '=?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
$header .= 'Reply-To: ' . '=?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
$header .= 'Return-Path: ' . $this->from . $this->newline;
$header .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . $this->newline;
$header .= 'Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="' . $boundary . '"' . $this->newline . $this->newline;

Changed:

Code: Select all

$header .= 'Date: ' . date('D, d M Y H:i:s O') . $this->newline;
//$header .= 'From: =?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
$header .= 'From: email@yourdomainname.com' . $this->newline;
if (!$this->reply_to) {
$header .= 'Reply-To: =?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->sender) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
} else {
$header .= 'Reply-To: =?UTF-8?B?' . base64_encode($this->reply_to) . '?=' . ' <' . $this->from . '>' . $this->newline;
}
$header .= 'Return-Path: ' . $this->from . $this->newline;
$header .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . $this->newline;
$header .= 'Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="' . $boundary . '"' . $this->newline . $this->newline;

Is it true that extension may increase the loading time of the website?
If yes, so in that case changing the core file will be the best option.
If no, can you please share the extension name so that it will be a great help for beginners.
