Byron Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 gmail Do you have a gmail account to try this test email with to see if they are blocking heliohost? <?php $to = "your_address@gmail.com"; $subject = "Test Mail"; $message = "Hello world!"; $headers = "From: you@your_site.heliohost.org"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); echo "The email was sent"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laozing Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 they are blocking heliohost what do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 they are blocking heliohost what do I do? Are you geting a returned email with subject matter: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender at your server mail that has the email headers from gmail?

Byron Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I just checked my gmail account (that I had forgotten I had) and my test mail went through without any problems. So gmail IS NOT blocking heliohost. You might want to check your spam folder but my email went directly to my In Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just copy the code below to your server and change it two places. 1) $to = "your_address@gmail.com"; Put the email address your sending to, that would be your google address. 2) $headers = "From: you@your_site.heliohost.org"; Put your server email address here. <?php $to = "your_address@gmail.com"; $subject = "Test Mail"; $message = "Hello world!"; $headers = "From: you@your_site.heliohost.org"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); echo "The email was sent"; ?> After your finished just click onto the file and the email is sent.
