On Joomla! 2.5.4 I'm using the JomSocial 2.6.0 extension. Looking for the code that is sending the first registration notification email "welcome email containing username+password" so that I can remove it.
Currently there are two emails sent upon registration, the first which contains the username and password, second that contains the verification link. However I think that having two emails is totally unnecessary.. Thanks!
I found the code from com_community/controllers/register.php
$this->_sendEMail('registration_uncomplete', $tmpUser, $password);
Is it safe or a good idea to just null this?
//$this->_sendEMail('registration_uncomplete', $tmpUser, $password);
$var = NULL;
seems to be working...

I have set my Sendgrid single sender and validate it ( status = verified).
I use SMTP, create my key that i paste in my code (.env file of my app):
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://#default
Then i try to test integration in Sendgrid by clicking on button and refresh my localhost/ page (of course the controller's route is "/" and it contains the code using mailer to send a mail as explain in mailer documentation).
On my vue i don't have error code but mail stay in queue status...
Here the screenshot taken of the profiler:
Can someone tell me why my mail stay queued?
Of course the From email address is mine ( the verified one) and the To is anotherone of mine.
Maybe i have to configure something in my outlook mail (the From one) ?
Sendgrid never match the verification, it stay in checking status until message :
Hmm, we haven't seen your email yet.
Please check your code, run it again, then click "Retry".
Thanks for reply,
Regards,
In your question you said that your MAILER_DSN environment variable is set to:
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://#default
That is missing your API Key though. You need to create an API key in the SendGrid dashboard and then add the API key to the MAILER_DSN variable, between the // and the #default like this:
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://API_KEY#default
One other thing, ensure that you have installed the SendGrid transport with this command:
composer require symfony/sendgrid-mailer
Yes, thanks you a lot for reply.
Of course all was set as you notify me.
I now have fix my issue, in fact the problem for me with the mail that remains in queued is that the messenger was installed so in asynchronous by default.
I had to add the option message_bus: false in my config/packages/mailer.yaml file not to have the asynchronous option used.
Hopefully this is useful for some people.
add the option message_bus: false in my config/packages/mailer.yaml:
framework:
mailer:
dsn: '%env(MAILER_DSN)%'
message_bus: false
(Using Liferay 6.1.0-CE-GA1.) I have written my own user registration portlet. When I UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser(...), the sendEmail parameter is true and, indeed, it sends the Account Verification Notification.
I've modified that notification by adding this line to it:
Please verify your email address for [$PORTAL_URL$] by clicking this link: [$EMAIL_VERIFICATION_URL$].
Unfortunately the e-mail it sends contains this line, literally:
Please verify your email address for xxx by clicking this link: [$EMAIL_VERIFICATION_URL$].
Is there any way to make this work? I want to send one e-mail with the verification code. My program flow requires it.
Thank you.
You should use this after you added the account in the action
ServiceContext serv = ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(request);
UserLocalServiceUtil.sendEmailAddressVerification(user1, user1.getEmailAddress(), serv);
I am using the latest Joomla build for my website.
Allso we use a DNS record for having the mail delivered to our own server instead of the server on which the website is hosted.
I have used several contact form components, but every sent mail goes to my SPAM folder.
After searching hours on the web (and getting linked to this site frequently) i decided to make a new post.
It does not matter if i use the standard joomla forms, or any component.
Whenever a user fills in a form on my website, the email gets sent. The user receives a copy of its message, and i receive the message of the user. However, this message gets thrown in the spam folder, as phishing.
The sender of the mail always is: username#nameserver.i3d.net; namens; websitename
What do i have to change/enable/disable for this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick.
(Sorry, I'm new to Joomla, but it uses PHP, so this may apply. Also this answer got a little long...)
It might be an issue with the email headers. A lot of email clients will automatically spam-box all mail where the address in the From: header doesn't match the envelope sender. As an analogy, you might not trust a snail-mail letter signed "Your Rich Uncle", mailed in an envelope with a Nigerian return address. Also if your envelope sender has a different domain than the one the email is actually sent from, that's another quick ticket to the junk bin. For more info about Gmail's message blocking policies (and general good practices), you can try this help page.
Here's some basic PHP email-sending code:
$to = $userEmailAddress;
$subj = $emailSubject;
$mesg = $emailMessage;
$headers = implode("\r\n",array(
"MIME-Version: 1.0"
,"Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"
,"From: WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME <WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM>" // *** 'From:' header
));
$from = "-fWEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM"; // *** envelope sender
if(!mail($to, $subj, $text, $headers, $from)){
//Some error handling...
}
On the first line I commented, you'll want to replace WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME with the name you want the email recipient to see (e.g. "Bill Gates"), and on both lines, replace WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM with the actual return address (e.g. "da_boss#microsoft.com"). Note: whatever address you choose for the return address is where users' replies will be sent.
To reiterate, make sure both lines have the same return address (though the nice name can be anything you like), and make sure that the actual server sending the mail is in fact located at YOURSERVER.COM.
Lastly, I'm not sure where Joomla does its mailing, but if you're totally lost, you can try grepping with -lr for 'mail[[:space:]]*('.
there are several reasons that could make your email look suspicious to spam filters; to find out which head on to:
http://www.mail-tester.com
grab the email address and send an email from your website to it.
Then go back to the page and it will tell you what's wrong.
btw I'm struggling with the same issue,my problem being that on Joomla 2.5.9 apparently when you send html emails, a text-only copy is not added to the message, which is considered "spammish behaviour"
The problem is the i3d.net email address. My personal experience is that their network (31.204.154.0 - 31.204.155.255) is a significant source of spam and they do not action abuse reports. I suggest changing your hosting company.
I'm trying to get into the IMAP server with OAuth, using the PHP Sample Code provided by Google which uses the Zend Imap class but I am failing to authenticate. Zend is giving me the error:
Zend_Mail_Storage_Exception [ Error ]: cannot select INBOX, is this a valid transport?
Annoyingly this is a rather confusing error message, for what is essentially "Invalid Credentials". How did I know that? By debugging the actual commands being send to the IMAP socket I see this:
string(44) "NO Invalid credentials ey9if1544983wid.142
"
I have tried with telnet and a Ruby gmail_xoauth gem which suggests it is not a code issue, but something else.
Looking at the most basic level of all this, I am getting commands like this:
TAG1 AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH R0VUIGh0dHBzOi8vbWFpbC5nb29nbGUuY29tL21h......etc
This is where I get NO Invalid credentials then:
TAG2 SELECT "INBOX"
This returns BAD Unknown command and kicks me out.
I have tried searching around for people having the same problem but I find only questions and no answers. There are a few similar StackOverflow questions:
One post shows somebody having the exact same problem in Python.
This post shows somebody trying to be awkward and do it with OAuth 2, with no report of success.
There is a thread on the GMail Google Group that suggests an "Invalid Credentials" error can be resolved by going to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha for GMail accounts and https://www.google.com/a/[YOURDOMAIN.COM]/UnlockCaptcha if you are using Google Apps, but the latter just said that my username and password were wrong when they clearly were not. Using this https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha worked fine - even though my account is a hosted App, not plain old GMail - however I still get the same errors when trying to log back in with the PHP sample code provided by Google.
I've tried with various hosted Google App accounts and a plain GMail account. I've tried switching the IMAP server from imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com, nothing makes any difference.
/**
* Make the IMAP connection and send the auth request
*/
$imap = new Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap('imap.googlemail.com', '993', true);
$authenticateParams = array('XOAUTH', $initClientRequestEncoded);
$imap->requestAndResponse('AUTHENTICATE', $authenticateParams);
/**
* Print the INBOX message count and the subject of all messages
* in the INBOX
*/
$storage = new Zend_Mail_Storage_Imap($imap);
echo '<h1>Total messages: ' . $storage->countMessages() . "</h1>\n";
For those with an interest, this is the specific PHP code that sets up the connection, all XOauth is handled by Google's PHP in the same file but I skipped it.
I had this exact same error, and eventually realised I was using the wrong scope when requesting the OAuth permissions.
You need to have...
scope=https://mail.google.com/
access_type=offline
And also IMAP enabled in your Gmail account obviously. All seems good now.
One problem you may have is that the third parameter of Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap('imap.googlemail.com', '993', true); should not be true. It should be a string, as either "SSL" or "TLS". I believe you want "SSL" if going over port 993. It's only a boolean when it is FALSE.
Try replacing that first line with this:
$imap = new Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap('imap.googlemail.com', '993', 'SSL');
When i had this same error message, it was because
$options['consumerSecret'] = $THREE_LEGGED_CONSUMER_SECRET_HMAC;
I was doing that in a function and variable $THREE_LEGGED... wasn't in the scope. Pretty stupid and i'm sure that you'd have spotted that but just in case somebody new is reading that.
UPDATE: (2/29/12) Okay, so I've run into this same issue again for a different client on a completely different server and hosting company.
Again, having a script with just mail() sends out the email correctly with no issues. I then added code that is similar to what I have below and hooked it up with paypal IPN. Every time a new payment comes in, the IPN fires, the data gets saved to the db but the mail() function just doesn't work.
However, I ran into an interesting issue. I did a test IPN fire from paypal's sandbox with the same script and the email was sent out.
Is this an issue with paypals production IPN, perhaps the way that it posts data to the script?
Any information here would be extremely helpful since my current solution using cronjobs is sloppy.
END UPDATE
I have my paypal IPN listener configured properly since it writes all the information to the DB when a new payment comes in. Now I'm trying to setup a mail() function that sends me an email alert of a new payment.
I have done this before for another project but I can't for the life of my figure out why it's not working this time. I'm not getting any error's in the error_log and the rest of the script runs fine.
I've tested to make sure that the server actually does send mail with a standalone mail() script. I'm really lost and confused here.
Here's the code that I have:
mail('test#email.com', 'New Order', 'New Order', 'From: support#website.com');
define("_VALID_PHP", true);
require_once('../php/init.php');
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
$payment_gross = $_POST['payment_gross'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];
$txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
if ($payment_status == 'Completed') {
$query = $db->query("SELECT price, id, uid FROM invoice WHERE md5='$item_number'");
$row = $db->fetch($query);
$iid = $row['id'];
$uid = $row['uid'];
if ($row['price'] == $payment_gross){
$invoiceUpdate['paid'] = 1;
$update = $db->update('invoice', $invoiceUpdate, "md5='$item_number'");
}
}
$data['iid'] = $iid;
$data['uid'] = $uid;
$data['payment_status'] = $payment_status;
$data['payer_email'] = $payer_email;
$data['payment_gross'] = $payment_gross;
$data['txn_id'] = $txn_id;
$db->insert('payment', $data);
Since your mail function returns true and your code looks correct, i think you should check the mail log because the problem might not be related to code. Try to send a mail and then check the mail log on the server...once i lost two days trying to figure out a similar problem and in the end the problem was that my mail was not accepted by other servers.
to finde your mail log you can do (from the shell):
updatedb;
locate mail.log
or
locate maillog
this assumes you are using linux, but the problem might as well exists also on windows
The code seems correct to me.
My advice:
Create a new PHP script and test the function there. Does it work?
Attempt PHP SMTP authentication with your mail server and send the email that way. Does it work? (You can use the PEAR Mail Package or any other valid SMTP class.)
If the above also fails then attempt to use the SMTP script with a custom service (e.g GMail) and check if emails are being sent. Here are the GMail SMTP parameters.
If all of the above fail, the problem is definitely with your hosting provider.
how about start off with a call to mail(), then gradually add the code that process $_POST to see when it breaks down? You should have sandbox testing with paypal to make this easier.
On a side note, you should send a verify message to Paypal server to check if the request is actually originated from Paypal, just for security.
Problem isn't in your PHP code, but on server-side. You might have full mail or your provider/your server has problems with SMTP server. Check configuration/Contact provider.
use phpmailer for mail tasks,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/
it will allow you to debug email problems easily.
If you've already tested the mail() function and it sends then I don't think it's anything to do with your mail settings. One word of advice, however, is that you need to be careful with the e-mail addresses you put into the mail() function. A lot of hosting providers nowadays prohibit you from sending e-mails from domains that aren't officially registered (so test#email.com would not work - it needs to be from your domain and it needs to be a valid e-mail address you've set up - it can't be a fake address at your real domain).
If it's still not working, try manually updating the php.ini settings:
<?php ini_set ( sendmail_from, "my_email#my_server.com" ); ?>
Once this is done try putting your mail() at the bottom of the script and feeding one variable to it. So an example might be:
mail('test#email.com', 'New Order', $iid, 'From: support#website.com');
If nothing's being sent, I suggest you re-evaluate your code to see if variables are filtering through your if statements. If all else fails, contact your hosting provider and describe to them your mail problems - it might be a server issue after all. If you're running it on localhost, then that's a different matter entirely (it's quite tricky setting up mail() on a localhost server).
Are you using this code on Windows or on Linux ?
The mail function should execute you must be linking the ipn to a duplicate ipn-handler php file or you did not properly save the changes to the server.
Otherwise it just does not make sense your code is crisp clear and if you send out the mail right on the top it should work.
Now if you are on Windows mail() usually isnt the best choice as Windows lacks default 'sendmail'.
