I have news from my Zencart store . Have send en email and changed the FROM area to admin@african...

and I got a message that it send the mail :-) ,however he was not received in my real email account

Was it received via MercuryS? What did the mercuryS log show?

Did Mercury core process the message?  What did the system log show?

Was it received in a Mercury/32 account?  

Was it processed by MercuryE?  What did the log show?  What did the session log show?

Hi,

In the ZenCart Manual (e-Start Your Web Store with

Zen Cart)I read some things to configure Mercury.

I don't use the XAMPP server with the aleady included mercury

mailserver, but I installed the online available mailserver of Pegasus

Mail & Mercury

I should make some changes in the the MERCURY.ini file ,but this file doesn't appear in my Pegasus Mail & mercury folder.

Zen Manual:

Configuring Mercury

Now we have to make sure that all emails for the domain example.com will be handled by our mail server.

To configure your Mercury mail server to use the new domain:

1. Stop the Mercury mail server service via your XAMPP Control Panel.

2. Edit the file <xampp-home>/MercuryMai l /MERCURY. INI with a text editor.

3. Delete and add the following lines in the file.

myname localhost # Canonical name for this server

myname example.com # Canonical name for this server

4. Add the following line just below the words “localhost.com : localhost.com” in the file.

example.com : example.com<xampp-home></xampp-home>

myname localhost # Canonical name for this server

myname example.com # Canonical name for this server

4. Add the following line just below the words “localhost.com : localhost.com” in the file.

example.com : example.com

If this is what the Zen manual says it's wrong.  Unless running with Netware there is only one server name in the domains section and the domains should reflect the setup.  Here's what a valid [Domain] section should look like.  This one has both regular domains and domain accounts.

[Domains]
;Server: domain
stephens: stephens
stephens: [209.128.94.2]
stephens: mail.tstephenson.com
stephens: tstephenson.com
stephens: [192.168.1.2]
DM=novell: novelltstephenson.com
DM=merwin: merwin-tstephenson.com
DM=ubunto: ubunto-tstephenson.com
dm=merc452: merc452.tstephenson.com
DM=Novell: novell-tstephenson.com
stephens: stephens.sj.scruznet.com
dm=ubunto: linux-tstephenson.com

The normal Mercury/32 installed is to c:\mercury and that will be where the mercury.ini file should be located.    If you have Mercury/32  running though it's a whole lot easier to change the domain name using Configuration | Mercury core | Local domains.in the GUI interface.

Thx
I think I have installed Mercury/32. Under File I found Network configuration and I went through the installating wizard.

An email was asked so I 've putted this :  storekeeper@african_masks.com

POP3 server : mail.african_masks.com

SMTP : mail.african_masks.com

User name  and pasword

Then I went to my zencart Admin to send a test mail and I got this error message

Could not connect to SMTP host.

I have a feeling I have still lot to learn.:-)

This looks like you were configuring Pegasus Mail not Mercury.  Do you have the SMTP server (MercuryS) running?  What do you see when you open Configuration in the Mercury/32 console?  You should see something like http://tstephenson/Pegasus/config.jpg  and Configurations | protocols  http://tstephenson.com/pegasus/protocol.jpg if you have the protocols running

No I don't see anything like that. I realise I am not running Mercury/32 , but instead Pegasus mail. Could you tell me where I can download Mercury/32 .

I downloaded it at  http://www.pmail.com/downloads.htm, because I thought mercury/32 was bundled with Pegasus.

You can download Mercury/32 v4.62 from: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/mercur/default.aspx

The Mercury/32 http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm and is right under the Pegasus mail download. 

HI

 I've setup my configuration > local domains like this. Tried to send an email with postmaster@african_masks.com but I didn't get any email.

Local Host or server                     internet name

african_masks                             african_masks                            

african_masks                             african_mask.com

I assume you were trying to send mail to a user outside of these domains, i.e. a non-local address.  What are you using to send the mail with Mercury/32?  MercuryC?  MercuryE?  In any case setup session logging on the one you are using to see what the session log says.

I used Mercury/32

MercuryP and mercuryE

I tried to send it to admin@african_masks.com and to and existing email adress of me.

MercuryP and mercuryE

I tried to send it to admin@african_masks.com and to and existing email adress of me.

More specifics please.  How did you try to send the message?  The File | Send mail message? File | Generate test message?  From a outside mail client?

 I 've tried to -Send mail message- from  postmaster@african_masks to admin@....

 The domain is still local 

do not really understand yet what you understand under an outside mail client?

The mail was sent from postmaster@african... which is the domain name of my pc.

 For this moment I'm reading this   "Installing WinPMail and Mercury/32 for multi-user standalone
mode" which is very enlightening for newbies[:)]

If it really sends a mail to admin@... where should I finf this one? The domain is still local

In the directory ADMIN as a CNM file.  If you did a normal Mercury/32 install that directory is c:\mercury\mail\admin.  Use Configuration | mercury core and check the  "Local mailbox directory path" is should be something like c:\mercury\mail\~n

 The mail was sent from postmaster@african... which is the domain name of my pc.

Using Pegasus Mail?  As a shandalone POP3 user or did you integrate this with Mercury/32 to cause the mail to be sent to the queue.

 "Local mailbox directory path":  C:\WAMP\WWW\PMAIL\MAIL\~8

1/  It's confusing because I didn't find such a CNM file in the  directory c:\mercury\mail\admin , but I did find  CNM files in C:\wamp\www\Pmail\mail\admin

and they did contain the mail content :-)

2/  Should my internet email address in Pmail internet options general :(storekeeper@african_masks) be the same as the POP3 host  also in Pmail options : lieven23@main.african_masks.com

I'm trying to send also test mails in ZenCartstore Admin ,but I get an error like : " Email Error : SMTP error The following recipients have failed : lieven.van.meulder@telenet.be (translated from Dutch)

Why can't I send outside mails (to existing email address)

I found my internal email in Pegasus

Idid a test to find out if he's Queing .I disabled Pegasus. Then send e mail with Mercury. Opened Pegasus and found the mail.

I have news from my Zencart store . Have send en email and changed the FROM area to admin@african...

and I got a message that it send the mail :-) ,however he was not received in my real email account

Of course, you used a different mailbox directory from the default.  ;-)

Not sure, that's why I keep asking for you do do a session log to see why it is failing.  You said you used MercuryE to send outbound mail.  Let us see a session log from MercuryE.
