I have set up a magento store of my own for my business of grocery products.
I have almost configured each and everything.
I have a mail server and can have as many email addresses as I require.
I have a theme set up for the store.
While a user tries to log in and has forgot a password, there is a link to click saying "Forgot Password".
On clicking it, it displays "An email has been sent to your account with new password details."
I know this will not send an email as I have to configure entire system.
I do not want to send a new password by email. Instead I want to send a link. On clicking this link, the user can go the it and have an option of password reset.
Please help me with this. It will be much much appreciated.
Magento's standard "Forgot Password" functionality works exactly as you've described - it sends a link to the user to reset his or her password - it doesn't just send a new password.
Magento uses Zend_Mail to send emails. By default, Zend_Mail will use PHP's mail() function (via Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail), which will usually send emails via sendmail or similar, depending on the PHP configuration.
If you have your own mail server that you'd prefer to use, you can configure Magento to use SMTP. This does require some code, but, luckily, there are some good extensions out there that already do this, like aschroder/Magento-SMTP-Pro-Email-Extension.

I am using SendGrid as the email provider in my application. When I place a link in the email it gets re-encoded to a link on the SendGrid servers. Can I trust this link with my password resets? I know that I am already trusting SendGrid with my links by sending through their servers but what is the purpose of rewriting the urls. To use the link you need to also know the email address and it is only valid for 20 minutes.
The link in my email looks like
http://myserver/resetpassword/oLsjShCLh7tFpyl8cEzbghHpS59iazhD
and it gets encoded in the email as
https://u5478763.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=hvVg2ntCa8InWO5OtVSRJPdvIiofcS3RGII270TrJ9aOSJX2MZ9RkcgQLgnRLLNMjjo5mMQVejYxIGVPoz-2BfxtM55lXWiXwtNWvE42LzFPE-3D_Q0Y0L54uOhrrHtFzGFlMm55yZkDAUn39DjKFOTu4BtReZW14K4ruKT7IkXyh4pWHctN-2FYlmmFj2J7a6-2BHy0UN0PZDTzqKnADTi10YJeXfirMSGqGLkjKxZZY1iGRjCkgddBCiyIBiLfBs3VS4GmrB5SPa7uCb9KYcZdqm5AvebY6pyGitqdcpmDSVV6zHjR1oK3NZQboFfjng-2Fqv6PQHekU7irw1BWOtP5ja3RxfUKE-3D
This is because you have Click Tracking enabled in your account. Log into your SendGrid dashboard, and from the navbar on the left side click on Settings -> Tracking and disable Click Tracking.
I'm new to quickblox MBaas and I would like to send out an email (to verify e-mail address) to a specific user when he signed up. Is there a standard procedure for this or a way to do this in Quickblox. Many thanks for your help.
There is no a way to do this for API users right now.
The cause of this solution is that it's quite hard sometimes for mobile users to verify an email. Just imagine a situation where user doesn't have a ready for use mail client on his device - then there is no a way to verify an email in this situation.
Other cause is that email verification can complicate your onboarding process.
It's possible to send a greetings email. You can setup it in Admin panel, Users module, Settings tab
I am creating a site that requires admin approval before creating a user account. In Site Information settings I have set the site's e-mail address to "noreply#mysite.com"
New registrants request an account and they correctly get an e-mail From:noreply#mysite.com
No problems there.
However, the useful "Approve New User" e-mail also gets sent to "noreply#mysite.com" when I need it to go to "me#mysite.com." The noreply address is strictly a garbage address I will never check.
So, how do I set up a different email for the default "From:" address and the default system alert e-mail recipient address?
You can use Drupal's hook_mail_alter to intercept the email that gets sent to noreply#mysite.com send it to the desired email address. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--hooks--core.php/function/hook_mail_alter/6
It's also possible to do this kind of customization using Triggers and Actions:

There is a module, User Registration Notification, that does what I needed. Keep the site e-mail "no-reply" and change the To: value in the module to "me".

I have seen some similar questions here on stack-overflow, but in my application i want when user click on confirm button automatic email go to the email id specified in the form with other details.
How can i implement this.
You could just make a post request to a server and have the server then send the email.
You cannot send emails automatically without sending the user to the mail application. You could however, take advantage of a third party service like Amazon Simple Email Service http://aws.amazon.com/ses/ to send the message.
Here's one of the most strangest problems i've ever seen in my life as developer:
I have a website running CakePHP (lastest version, always) and when I send an email to someone (using Yahoo, Hotmail or YopMail), let's say a "remember my password" message, the CakePHP don't work properly.
What should happend: user acess the website using the link sent via email, internal process (generating the new password and sending it via email to the user), redirect the user to the homepage with a message "Your new password was sent by email".
The problem is that when the user clicks the link he's redirected to the homepage without any session variables... And there's no generated email!
But if I send the SAME link to someone using gMail it works like a charm.
Do you have any clue about where I should start?
It was some problem with the security level... I lowered it to "low" and it worked.
If it works in GMAIL, but not in YAHOO, then it sounds like yahoo is filtering your message. It's possible your wording triggers their spam or exploit filter. Just as a test, try sending the same link as an image link instead of using text. see if that works for yahoo.
