Author Topic: CiviMail not sending emails. Bounce Type says "Syntax" (Read 797 times)

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to configure CiviMail for the past few hours and can't figure out what's wrong. Every time I send an email, it returns a bounce with the bounce type Syntax.

I am using CiviCRM 4.2.7 on Joomla 2.5.9.

does anyone have any suggestions?

My guess is server configuration mail issues. Try checking your mail log to see copies of the actual mails being sent.

Also try switching to a different mail sending method: mail(), Smtp, and sendmail are all available.

I figured it out.

in the file .../administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/Mail/stmp.php

I commented out

if (!empty($headers['Return-Path'])) {
$from = $headers['Return-Path'];
}

if (!isset($from)) {
$this->_smtp->rset();
return PEAR::raiseError('No From: address has been provided',
PEAR_MAIL_SMTP_ERROR_FROM);

and it now works.

Thanks,
