Error when trying to email forum topicMarch 23, 2008 @ 8:08pm
Here is the error message:

Hi Bill,

Thanks for trying out FlexCMS!

Most likely your hosting provider has modified the mail settings and the standard parameters no longer work. Some disable the "-f" flag at the end, which might be the cause of your problem. Line 531 of inc-mb-idx.php looks like this:
Code

mail($FormArguments['REmail'], $Settings['SiteName'].' Topic: '.$row['Title'], "", $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail']);
. Try changing it to this:
Code

mail($FormArguments['REmail'], $Settings['SiteName'].' Topic: '.$row['Title'], "", $MessageHeaders);
and see if that works.

There are a few other portions of FlexCMS that send emails too, so once you get the message board working you can update them too.

Looks like the same error mesage.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Bad parameters to mail() function, mail not sent. in /home/content/t/r/o/trouttrucking/html/pig/inc-mb-idx.php on line 531

Using godaddy webhosting if that is any help.

Thanks.

Also, the mail functions work for new users.

Bill,

Try commenting out line 527 ("$MessageHeaders .= $Message;" becomes "// $MessageHeaders .= $Message;" (without the quotes of course).

Then change 531 to this:
Code

mail($FormArguments['REmail'], $Settings['SiteName'].' Topic: '.$row['Title'], $Message, $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail']);



And for what it's worth, we've had numerous issues with GoDaddy with various clients. I love them for domains, though.
