Outgoing SMTP Host

Recommended Posts

hello all,

 

i just installed cubecart and it looks to be very straight forward and very clean. i just have one issue so far. i run my own server with postfix. my service provider blocks port 25 so i use a redirect service so i can send mail on port 2525. i do have other sites running on this server using phpmail and have no issues with the server sending mail. my question is i do not see an option for phpmail so what info should i place in the Outgoing SMTP Host field. thanks in advance

Welcome kwickcut! Glad to see you made it to the forums.

CubeCart uses the PHPMailer library (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) for all email transportation.

PHPMailer is told to use SMTP, or to use PHP's mail() functions that relate to the connection to whatever service is defined in the PHP.INI file, which generally is a server on localhost.

So, when you say 'phpmail', do you mean PHP's mail() family of functions, or the PHPMailer library?

If in admin, Store Settings, Advanced tab, Sending Method is PHP 's mail() functions, then you do not enter anything relating to SMTP details, as the connection details to postfix (or whatever) should already be in the PHP.INI file.
