No eMail notifications email received

[kubokok]

Hi just wanted to ask how come no emails are being received whenever a leave application/approval is made. If I view the /lib/logs/notification_mails.log file, it shows that notifications had been sent. I have verified my email notification settings and set the path correctly for the sendmail settings. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

If the sendmail's path is configured correctly, then everything should be good. If the application's internal mail log confirms that the mail is sent that means it is parsed into sendmail.

That leads us to investigate what happens within sendmail. Can you have a look into 'maillog' (/var/log/maillog). You can try triggering a mail and see in the log what actually happens after sendmail takes over.

Thanks, I've tried to do a test email using PHP's mail() function and I can receive email coming from sendmail. Below is the script I used:

<?php
$to = "myemail@myserver.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>

When I tried to apply for a leave and checked the maillog, there is no trace of emails passed to sendmail. I've also tried doing various changes to the path to sendmail but no luck with email notifications.

Hi,

Since the mail() function sends the mails correctly, you can be assured that PHP has the sendmail path configured correctly.

Can you create a phpinfo(); page;

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>


and in the resulting page search for 'sendmail_path'. You should be using exactly the same path as given in the phpinfo page.

Thank you very much for the help. It seems I have to put the entire /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i on the sendmail path.

Hay!
I have SME server 7.2 with qmail server.

I found in my log file that mails from Orange.hrm arent sent because messages from Orange.hrm doesnt have time stamp.
This is what my log file says:

Mail with no Date header not accepted here...

I am asking you if you could add time stamp to header of messages you sent from php script in Orangehrm.

Thanks.

Best regards!
