CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi everyone, sorry to ask this question, I've tried to find the answer but could'nt make my mass mailing to work.
Here's the story: I've installed a Joomla/CiviCRM for a client a year ago and everything works (CIVIMAIL) (Had to comment
/*        if (!empty($headers['Return-Path'])) {
            $from = $headers['Return-Path'];
        }*/
in smtp.php, but i worked.

Now I'm triying to install it for my own company, fresh Joomla 2.5.9 that runs perferctly, added CIVICRM 4.2.8 and when I try to send a mailing test, the page refreshes and then I get:
 Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
mail() returned failure

But when I test my Outboung Mail Settings (save and send test email) it works, I get a :
Your MAIL settings are correct. A test email has been sent to your email address.
And I get the email.....

I think I've looked everywhere, but gee I can't nail it...

Any Ideas?
Thanks everyone!
Marc.


UPDATE: I made it work by adding a Bounce address. Still testing! I'll keep you posted!

I'm using Joomla.  Once I included the bounce email, I got past the "send test email" part.  It worked and the test email was sent. 

After that I had a problem with the cron job and immediately sending out the email.

After hours of testing of trial and error, I found this link to work:
http://<site>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/mailing/queue&reset=1&name=username&pass=password&key=site-key

Of course make the proper changes for <site>, name, pass, and key.
