CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Good afternoon,

I have not been able to get the CiviMail to successfully send a test message.

I can confirm;

1. setting the global CiviCRM outbound email settings correctly (using authentication)
2. Successfully testing the SMTP settings for the sender email address in Outlook.
2. Setting the password in Edit file: /administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php
As follows;

*/
define( 'CIVICRM_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'password'
);


however, I attempt to send the test email and I receive the following err;

test mailing could not be delivered due to the following error:
Failed to add recipient: @localhost [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 501, response: <@localhost>: no local part)]

Could someone please help me?

Thanks

Yes PHP 5. I got to send a test message. However, now the cron job wont go. The emails just sit their in "scheduled" mode. I manually scheduled the crons;

cd '/home/audit5/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Mailing/BAO/' ; php -q 'civimail.cronjob.php' > /dev/null ;
 
cd '/home/audit5/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Mailing/BAO/' ; php -q 'Job.php' > /dev/null ;

But it still will not kickoff --

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the prompt reply -

This is a hosted site on lunarpages so I can't run the php command. I did throw it in the cron job though. I have received no errors so far.



Looking through the forum last night I saw a post about issues with reports so I set a similr cron for

;components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php

and I got the following error;  "No input file specified."

Thanks,

you'll have to work with your local system administrator to figure out what is happening and why things were not working from command line etc. Its kinda hard to have too many thoughts with insufficient information
