Problem with Emails

Hi all,

I installed OJS 3.02 (http://aaasjournal.org/submission/index.php/aaas).
After registration or reset password, don’t send notification Emails.

I changed Email setting in config.inc.php file, but problem didn’t solve.

; Use SMTP for sending mail instead of mail()
; smtp = On

; SMTP server settings
; smtp_server = “ssl://smtp.gmail.com”
; smtp_port = 465

; Enable SMTP authentication
; Supported mechanisms: ssl, tls
; smtp_auth = PLAIN
; smtp_username = “.....@gmail.com
; smtp_password = “…”

I don’t have shell access. I don’t know many things about codes and site developing. I tried to use another similar topics, but I confused.

Please help me to fix this problem

Regards

Hi @Journalist,

All the lines with ; at the beginning are commented out, so they won’t have any effect. Remove the ; from the lines you want to configure.

Email sender don’t work

Hi @Journalist

Have you tried use option tls, instead ssl, and port 587?
I’ve read on google foruns that it is a alternative.

When I used gmail smtp for the first time I had to grant the app (on the most of case Google sends you a email notification about someone trying use your account and you need grant it manually).

Hi @Journalist

Reading google support link it says that perhaps there is typing error such as: quotation marks, final period, white spaces or other kind of.

Check it to santize the email address info.

Thank you @israel.cefrin

I didn’t change default reset password email.

I tried to use yahoo mail instead gmail, but it didn’t work

Is there another mail service?

Hi

I think this issue is not about the sender, but with email receipt address. Don’t you have a test user to verify if it happens to different @domain email? If so, try to reset password with this test user to verify how it handle it.
Just to confirm that receipt email exist, check it on this tool: https://verify-email.org/

It doesn’t look like a issue on sender mail service. But, about your last question, I don’t know other mail service that does SMTP role (and free).

Hi @Journalist,

Looking at the recipient address, it appears to end with :@gmail.com (note the :). This appears to be an invalid email address.
