Sorry for the late reply Karl. I had to make some research because I noticed that many things on my server started work differently.mjau-mjau wrote:May I ask from what application you are using PHPMailer, and what settings you may have applied (smtp etc)? The reason I ask, is because essentially, PHPmailer just uses the standard php mail() function unless you have set it to use SMTP or another specific option.Artur wrote:Mail function is working fine on my server (at least in form like PHPMailer class
On your server, the PHP mail() function simply fails. I assume it might have been turned off for security/spam reasons, and they rely on SMTP only. This is why we added this option to Imagevue X2. Here is the basic code in X3 PHP:Codeif(mail($to, $subject, $message, 'From: ' . $email)) { return 'true'; // success! } else { return 'cannot send from server'; // server mail() fail }
I have few websites on my server where the mail function is implemented, so I was 100% sure that the basic mail function works. But...
But it indeed won't work anymore and this happened about a month ago. They did some anti-spam protection recently, which they described here.
As about the cache folder issue (what I posted in other topic before) - they have enabled gzip by default (without possibility to turn off). So, basically any app that uses this feature, will actualy compress already compressed informations
Also... They have now switched to host-cloud hybrid type of servers, what may cause another portion of problems.
I have spoken with them also about all the issues that I noticed recently (not only with X3 unfortunately but also with standard frameworks) and it seems that they have "improved", "secured" and "fixed" a lot things (things that prevents websites/basic frameworks to work normally), without even inform the end user. This makes me consider to NOT renew the contract with them next year, as I don't like to be forced to correct and re-script ready frameworks that SHOULD works out of the box.
