Re: [WebDNA] Sendmail problem

interpreted = N
texte = Make sure the TO and FROM fields are valid email addresses. On my network here the emails will not send if either of those fields=20 are improperly formatted. Furthermore, make sure the FROM address is a valid email address, and=20 not a dummy address. Some of my websites will not send mail from a=20 noreply@ address if the noreply@ POP account is not actually valid.=20 This is a strange byproduct of my Astaro spam filter that does a reverse=20 lookup on sending email addresses. That could be an issue if you have a=20 similar setup. Lastly, over the years I have had many many situations where something=20 was wrong with the [sendmail] context and I simply had to retype it. Example: Let's say this line of text was copied from from another script into a=20 new one. [sendmail to=3Demail@address.com&from=3Demail@domain.com&subject=3DSometh= ing=20 Important] It looks normal, and it worked prior to the copy/paste, but no matter=20 how many times I tested it I would find the email in the Problems folder. Simply retyping the line of code over again would magically make it=20 work. I always attributed that issue to an invisible character that was=20 introduced during the pasting. Good luck tracking it down. You should also search the archives for my email address relating to=20 sendmail issues. I discovered and documented some interesting finding a=20 few years ago when I created an email management module that allows us=20 to pick an email from the Problems folder and resubmit it to the Waiting=20 folder.
