Thread: slower sendmail in 5.4

the problem is that in the new version 5.4 it takes longer time to send coonfirmation or forgot password mails...i reinstalled it many times and it is still the same..It is much more faster in the previous versions which i tested in the same time as well...

How can I make it faster???

are there any specific files responsible for that which i can replace from the previus versions which work fine..??

Thanks

Except that problem and orca which is not workking at all..5.4 is the best

dr fox, my sendmails go out pronto, so i can't say anything.

do you know anyone who has got that dang ORCA up off the bottom of the ocean and working yet?

I just went and signed up to the Boonex demo and it is still 5.3, so we can't even test the latest script they have on offer.

Talk about a shoddy run shop over there. I wanted to test the Orca thing over there, but can't.

Until now i didnt hear of any one got orca working....
so sendmail is going better with you....it works with me..it just takes moooore time to send themail...this will affect the performance of the site..other versions...and even my forums (On the same host) send the mails instantly...

I have orca working. I cannot seem to get sendmail to function at all. my emails are not being sent, and I think the emails are sent out using cron jobs and by default it is every 20 minutes. Contact me via msn or yahoo and I can help with orca. now if I could only find someone who knows how to get ray 2.0's desktop IM program thing to work......

Quick look at the code, if you are referring to the activation emails, shows this function being carried out in BxMail.php

BxMail.php is sort of funny actually... the message is hard coded into the php... I guess language localization is out the windows with Orca?

Anyways....

Code:

$headers = "From:" . $gConf['email']['sender'] . "\r\nContent-type: text/html";				
		
return mail ($p['email'], $subj, $mailContent, $this->additionalHeaders, '-f'.$gConf['email']['sender']);

sends this mail - no cron used.... just the php mail() function.

This would be the place to start checking.... make sure the resulting value for $headers is valid for your mail server.

Do any messages end up in your server queue at all?

I actually got a few messages in my email about mail not being able to be sent. it states there was no recipient. kinda funky if you ask me. has to do with postfix. here is the actual message:


This is the Postfix program at host megatrafficgenerators.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

The Postfix program

<unknown>: No recipients specified

so apparently, the user's email address isnt being grabbed from the database.

I just realized, while looking for BxMail.php that I should have been more specific. I cannot get any email from anyhere on dolphin 5.4. I realized my cron jobs were screwed up, due to a setting in php.ini... the auto prepend and append, to put headers and footers on each page. I run a free hosting service, 200MB and there is a top and bottom "banner" ad. I disabled it for the sites, but it looks like the periodic folder overrides and disabling, so I set it in there. anyways, I think I fixed it, and will check shortly. cron jobs every 20 minutes, and an email box FULL of cron job errors, with no info.

I looked everywhere in google. saw hundreds of people with this problem. it ISNT a problem with postfix...... it a simple fix.

open your php.ini file.
locate sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
and change it to:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
That fixed my problem. I hope this helps someone, and I should probably post this info somewhere else, but this is the only forums I post to. now, www.coasttocoastdating.com works.

now to fix presence......

hi dear can u tell me how u got the banner working in your website.....
