I've same problem like here. But still not able to solve it.
I've followed steps from here. but doing so doesn't sends mail.
The log file says: Mail is sent. but at the other side mail is not received.
Any ideas why?
Check your SMTP settings and make sure you have defined the right settings for your e-mail host. If you are using a sender e-mail other than Gmail then your settings will be different to the ones used in the Railscast.
The file to check is here: config/initializers/setup_mail.rb.
Edit: It still may be possible that the settings you used in jsp may not match perfectly with the 'phrasing' that Rails expects in the setup_mail.rb file. I have frequently come up against this problem where a slight difference in what SMTP settings you mention / don't mention / how they are worded will determine whether the e-mails send/receive or not.
If your logs show the e-mail is sending to a valid e-mail address (and you are not receiving those e-mails in your inbox or spam filter) then the problem, as far as I know, is most likely to be your SMTP. My advice is to check online for the Rails-specific SMTP settings for your e-mail provider, or in the case that you cannot find them, try different combinations until you find the correct one.
Okay the problem is solved. Problem was my file corresponding to action was not at proper place. Here is quick view on how to do it:
Add following to actionmailer:-
def send_mail
attachments['1.pdf'] = File.read('c:/1.pdf')
mail(:to => "harsh#xyz.com", :subject => "xyz", :from=>"harsh#xyz.com")
mail.deliver
end
Notes:- Make sure that the smtp settings are correct and the file corresponding to the action (In this example send_mail.rhtml) is present under appropriate folder.

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
I am using the current link in my email.
*|baseUrl|*/verifyEmail?token=*|token|*
This however causes one or two people to get strange links from the email and get not found, usually based on some random email providers. E.g. - if I use a 10 minute mail (10minutemail.com), I get the following:
https://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/www.mywebsite.com/verifyEmail?token=b32fee82da59e7b4085269faca35ec7025122876
Correct link: www.mywebsite.com/verifyEmail?token=b32fee82da59e7b4085269faca35ec7025122876
Assuming this is due to baseUrl? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong when setting up my email link?
You need to include http:// or https:// with your baseUrl. Otherwise the email client may prepend a default base address instead of 'just' the missing protocol, especially if it is a webmail client.
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 piece out how difficult it would be to set up an email server that will accept a URL as the subject of an email and respond with an attached copy of said webpage, or element(s) of that webpage (ie, an image from the page, or all of the videos on the page).
I don't necessarily need the code written for me, but would appreciate if someone could suggest a starting point.
I have very little web-programming knowledge (some C++, some Actionscript), which is partly why I don't even know where to begin.
There is several ways to achieve this.
In most unix MTAs you can set up an alias to pipe all messages for some address through a program.
This program need to parse the message header for the "from" and "subject", fetch the url and sent it back.
You can also do this with a program like fetchmail, so you dont even need to make something in the server side.
Finally, several languages have wonderful libraries fetch the mail using POP3, parse it, fetch the URL from the subject and compose a new mail message. Should be no more than 100 code lines with perl or python.
I am trying to embed an ID into an email so that when a recipient replies to an email that my system sends out, my system can pick it up and match the two together.
I have tried appending a custom header, however this is stripped out when the user replies.
I have tried embedding an HTML comment within the email, but outlook does not seem to keep comments when a reply email is created.
Worst case scenario, I can manually try and match the sent and received emails by time span or have a visible tag within the message body.
Does anyone know of a more elegant solution?
Thanks in advance
Email messages already contain such an identifiers, called Message-ID. And there's even a way to send which message you're replying to by sending that ID in a header called In-Reply-To. That's done by pretty much all email clients, that's how they usually do their threading.
It's defined in RFC 822 (yep that's pretty old) and probably re-defined and refined in more modern versions of that.
I have seen a method that includes a one byte image with a unique name that's linked to the user. When they view the email and download the images, your HTTP server will record a hit for that unique image. Of course the user needs to display images, but you can include a message in the body asking them to display the images. We actually include content in an image so they need to show images.
If your incoming e-mail can handle +foo or -foo suffixes, use that.
Many e-mail systems can route user+foo#example.com or user-foo#example.com
to user#example.com. You can replace foo with some kind of identifier.
Several mailing list servers use this for tracking bounces.
While I can't say for certain, my investigation in that sort of matter some time ago yielded the following "conclusion":
Headers are transformed a lot
Message bodies are transformed a lot
This is partly because, I suspect, of:
Need to protect users from malicious intentions
Need to perform "targeted marketing"
I have seen "unique codes" flying around in clear text in the email body but I would suggest having a unique identifier embedded in the return address instead.
The usual approach is to place the id in the subject line and/or somewhere visible in the message text and informing the recipient that he should not modify the subject or quote the original mail when responding.
