V6.0 - Problem: No New-User (Password emails being generated

Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 4:49 pm

I think it's because the -f flag is only getting added to your email address but not to the email of your users, i'm not quite sure why my suggestion gave you a parse error but let's try a variant, modify the finishnewuser line using the following and try to register an account using a email addy other than your domain email

Code:

   $subject=""._USERPASS4." $username";
   $from = "$adminmail";
   $testemail = "-f $user_ email";
   mail($testemail, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

remember to remove the blank space in $user_ email

got it now:

line 137

Quote:

mail($email, $subject, $message, $adminmail, "-fICiA@fourbelowzero.com");

line 581

Quote:

mail($email, $subject, $message, $adminmail, "-fICiA@fourbelowzero.com");

line 611

Quote:

mail($email, $subject, $message, $adminmail, "-fICiA@fourbelowzero.com");

that gets both registrations, lost passwords and password codes working - gotta check later to fix newsletters but im assuming its gonna be the same essentially

"ICiA@fourbelowzero.com" just needs to be replaced by whatever "youraccount@yourdomain.com" is..

I guess you'd term the whole thing as needing to "hardcoded" (???) to get past the hosting issues - working so far anyway - usrs registering away without probs and ive had em check lost password and such like - all works so far.

ok this absolutely takes the cake. how it can work for any one is beyond me.
i just spent the last 6 hours hunting this down and thanks to dragon i got it to work BUT ... i am using nuke 6.8 and the lines that need changing are in 146,653 and 683 of modules/your_acount/index.php

now originally they looked like this:

Code:

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $adminmail\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

however $email is created nowhere !! what is created is $user_email !!!
i wonder how the mail is working for anyone!!

Code:

mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $adminmail, "-fwebmaster@strikemepink.com");

the above works for me .. hope it helps a few others as well. i am one of the F flaggers so , folks get editing !!! Smile

well , the same lines as i have posted above in the same file. eventhough i run 6.8 i doubt that the differences are huge, the line count might be off by 1 or 2 just search for the original

Code:

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $adminmail\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

in modules/your_acount/index.php and replace them with what i suggested two/three posts earlier. the above suggestion applies only if your sendmail uses the -f flag.
