Hi folks, I dont know if this is insain, but I seem to have problems sending order-confirmations to the Admin-email address set in the site.ini override in : [MailSettings]AdminEmail=
Im running version 3.3-3 (3.3), SVN revision 4927.
The problem only occur when the AdminEmail address contains a dash (-) like in mymail@my-url.com.
Could it be possible that eZ doesnt allow dashes in email adresses? I know it sounds crazy but I have to make sure...
Regards,Nicklas

eZ publish allows dashes in the mail address, however it can be that some e-mail gateways does not support it.What if you try to send it using the 'mail' command?

Thanks for the reply, Jan!
Alright, it might just be the gateway, its not totally impossible.
However, would you please elaborate a little on the part about trying with the mail-command? Do you mean that I should change the SMTP-settings for eZ in some way? Or just to try to send a mail via an ordinary php-page using php:s mail command?

Try running this Unix/linux command (replace the <i>mymail@my-url.com</i> email with a valid one).
echo "A message" | mail -s "A subject" mymail@my-url.com
