Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 20, 20231 yr Hello. I knew that instead of an external smtp server to send mail to users, Invision's php method is also available, but when I select this, it does not work. The hosting where my website is hosted is a physical server that belongs to me. What exactly do I need to use Invision's mail method with PHP? I don't want to set up an external smtp.
August 20, 20231 yr If by “it does not work” you mean the mail does not end up in the recipient mailbox… it’s most likely you do not have mail setup properly on your server. For example, is SPF and DKIM configured properly? Your mail is most likely going out but being rejected by the recipient server thinking it’s spam.
August 21, 20231 yr You would need to ensure that PHPMail is set up and configured correctly on your server. The above is part of that process, but of course ensuring PHPMail itself is set up is another thing you would need to do. If you are unsure, you would need to contact a server administrator to assist you with this.
