dutchpuzzleHi
I use WordPress 3.0.3 with the theme Headway.
I have a plugin called AWPCP (Another wordpress classified plugin) - a classified advert plugin.
Adverts are placed on my website daily and they are 'arriving' in the AWPCP 'manage ads' section. However, that should generate emails to me and to the advertiser telling me (administrator) that the advert has been placed and telling them (the advertiser) that they have successfully placed an advert. Some days this works. Some days it doesnt! I have installed a very useful plugin called email log which shows the emails generated.
AWPCP say it isnt a problem with their plugin because some emails are being generated. Quote:
Some people report never receiving emails on their system from AWPCP. Here is an article that talks about some possible things to look for, a debugging tip and plugin to use, as well as things to try.There are three methods attempted for processing the emails the plugin sends out. The first is the plugin’s send_mail() function. The plugin will try to send out the email using this function. Some servers will not permit the plugin to send out the mail using the send_mail() function. On these servers, the plugin will then attempt to use the standard php mail() function. Here again, some servers have restrictions in place that will prevent even the standard mail() function from processing the emails.
If send_mail() fails and mail() fails, the system will attempt to use SMTP to process the emails. The SMTP feature is experimental at this point in time. It is not known yet if it has worked for anyone as no one who might be using it has reported back. If you are using the SMTP option successfully or trying unsuccessfully to use it feedback is invited.
If none of the three methods is working for you there is something, likely on your server end, that is preventing the emails from going out.
Can anyone help?
