Hi @seahawk

Maybe you missed one of the following steps as described in the installation instructions:

1.copy the files into '/modules' directory
2.download PHPMailer-5.2.14 into '/modules/mail/includes' directory
3.replace existing '/reporting/includes/mail.class.inc' with the new provided one
4.activate module in FA

5. go to "Setup" -> "Mail Sending Setup" and fill in the data.

that's it

I have tried to get it to work but without any success.

Setup menu does not display at all, I could activate the setup in Install/Activate extensions and allocated it to the company Activated section, but nothing show in the setup tab.

I was told to try the following by the hosting provider in the php ini file:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f 'email@mydomain.coza'

I do not know if this will work however?

Hi all

I am sitting with the same issue on the new VPS that I moved to.

On the shared server the normal email functions was fine most of the time, but on the VPS the "from" line use to read: myemail@mycompanydomain.coza

On the VPS it is the same exept it has the "cpanelname@servername.coza on behalf of Compny name

According to the hosting provider, the VPS does not have cloud linux installed, since it costs extra, where shred server have this isntalled, and thus the reason for the above problem.

I have now trying to install https://github.com/serbanconstantinescu/fa_mail_phpmailer and will see what it does.

I have been using PHPlist (Mailing list) for a long time and they have implemented and option to use the normal php's mail() function or you could change the smtp settings in the config file using phpmailer6 , maybe you could have a look at it.

My deliverability is better with the smtp function through my mail server.

Will see if the serban idea will work and report back

Hi Boxygen,

After PHPMailer is set, SMTP info is input on the mail sending setup then i test to send order confirmation, but still the same as before, there is no notification if the mail is successfully sent or not, and i did not receive the email.

can you help me test my smtp on your server to see if it can send or not?

Regards,
SiKumbang

There is no smtp configured to send emails on prompt time. If you wish to add smtp feature you have to change the default main function with phpmailer to deliver mails immediately.
