Got email working fine now! one query though...

emails work fine as requested. (after a busy day setting sendmail to use external SMTP)

however:

sendmail is set to use gmail's SMTP to send emails. and does so perfectly. But if it sends the order invoice to a customer using BTinternet. gmail says it's sent but it's never received BT side. I suspect BT is blocking it somehow. It's only the order invoice... reset passwords and internal test emails from admin panel also send fine. (not tried the registering email but assuming it's the same format as reset password... I bet it works also).

I myself the admin get a copy of said invoice in my gmail account. (admin alert on). To test, I sent order email manually (I forwarded the sent one in gmail) to my BT account, and two hotmail accounts. both hotmail accounts got the email. Again BT did not. is there something in the email that causes BT's servers to reject it?

I am using opencart 1.4.9.1

Any ideas?

It must be that BT is blocking (deleting?) it.

I've seen a topic regarding a problem that looks like this, it was related to the address where the e-mails are coming from, or the lack of it.
I've looked for you but I cannot find it atm., sorry for that.

ahh ok, fair enough.

Email header shows correct and real email.

which is grants.flooringinfo @ gmail.com, it's being sent from that. However, ive noticed it says Grants Flooring Services online (grants.flooringinfo @ gmail.com).

Could it be that spoofing there? since the name on the gmail account isn't obviously Grants Flooring Services online
Edit: just tried that and no go.

but it sends the plaintext emails fine, it's just the graphical order one that doesn't go

The other thing that comes to mind is that there could be a problem with the so called Return path of the e-mail.

Here is what our search came up with: Return path.

the received areas show the server in which it came. tried the new line trick found in your search. no avail. unless apache needs restarting.

and heres my email header for the plaintext email that works.
