Title: VM2 not emailing customers or notifying me of new orders!
Post by: rand486 on August 28, 2012, 22:13:19 PM
VM 2.0.10
Joomla 1.5.26
PHP 5.3.13
Rochen Hosting

I'm using the paid extension Offline Credit Card Processing, and the built-in Paypal as payment methods.  The purchase goes through seemingly correctly, but no emails are sent to the customer OR the administrator from VM.
Displayed Name: Webmaster
Username: webmaster
Email: [I've tried two different ones]
User Details:
Block User (No)
Receive System Emails (Yes)
Contact Information: Webmaster (links to a contact page)

What else do I look at?

Hello,

Your problem is not related to the Offline Credit Card Processing plugin, but to your web site configuration.
Go in the Joomla Global Configuration and check your Mail Settings.

Thank you for responding, but I'm afraid I disagree.  The problem is ONLY in Virtuemart.  As I pointed out in the original post, Joomla's mail settings work correctly.  I've verified this using the confirmation emails when a new user is created.

Joomla's mail settings work with both PHP Mail and Sendmail.  The only emails not sent are from the Virtuemart component.

Solved.  Turns out the problem was with the company that manages our company network.  The component had always been working, just not for emails sent within our network.

They are still working on resolving it.  Very frustrating.

When you find the problem, can you please share this here?

Thank you

I also have this problem and I am on Rochen as well.  I even tried having the notifications go to an e-mail outside of our domain but they just are not being sent. 

I did come up with a work around until this is solved.

I switched our e-mail services with the account to google apps.  You can do this through the cpanel.  Then set up joomla to use smtp for mail and put in your google apps info and the e-mail address you need to receive the last 4 digits at.

Our customers were getting confirmation e-mails but we were not receiving ours.  The last 4 digits are also in the customer confirmation e-mail.  If you set things up this way and use smtp the last 4 digits will be viewable in the sent mail folder after an order is placed.  I use thunderbird and have it set up using IMAP.  My old e-mails that were local were uploaded to the server so my e-mail history is in tact.
