Emails Failing to Send

[Tao Hu]

Hi,

First of all, I use self-hosted plan, and has upgraded the forum to v4.4.5.

In my ACP, I got a 'Emails Failing to Send' message, which give the following error info:

First I checked the 'failedMailCount.1607bf77de.php' file on my server, I got no such file or directory info. Then I used support feature to clear the cache, the notification is still here. So I tried to click the resend button, I got 'A configuration or server error has occurred' error which also show the 'filesize(): stat failed for ..' just like the notification error.

After this, I entered the 'Email Settings' page,  the outgoing and incoming email address is OK, the mail delivery method just use the default option 'PHP'.  I tried the 'test settings' function, also no lucky, 'IPS\Email\Outgoing\Exception: email_test_mailfunction_disabled (0)'  displayed on the top.

I have searched the forum, but did not helpful info to resolve this issue, so I create this topic.

Any suggestion will me great appreciated.

Just search the forum with error  ' email_test_mailfunction_disabled ', and I find the tips from bfarber.  

This tip is very helpful. I just test my mail function with the following code:

<?php 
    ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
    error_reporting( E_ALL );
    $from = "emailtest@YOURDOMAIN";
    $to = "YOUREMAILADDRESS";
    $subject = "PHP Mail Test script";
    $message = "This is a test to check the PHP Mail functionality";
    $headers = "From:" . $from;
    mail($to,$subject,$message, $headers);
    echo "Test email sent";
?>

Replace $from and $to with your email,  and save it to a file such as 'test_email.php' in a temp folder in your server, then run 'php test_email.php'. With the test, I find that I did not install sendmail in my server. After I installing sendmail, everything is OK!

Just newbie to php world for using ISP suite.  Sorry to bother your guys without more deep investigation.

Sounds like mail() is disabled on your server. You would need to contact your host, if so.
