Hi, there
My <b>eZ Publish 4.0.1</b> based website is hosted by <b>Godaddy linux host</b>.
I'm using <b>sendmail</b> for email outgoing.
The settings for sendmail in <b>/settings/override/site.ini.append.php</b> are as following:

[MailSettings]
Transport=sendmail
TransportServer=
TransportUser=
TransportPassword=
AdminEmail=yahoobox@yahoo.com
EmailSender=yahoobox@yahoo.com

When I test the sendmail functionality by registering a new user, a strange thing happened. After I register a new user with a mailbox <b>gmailbox@gmail.com</b>, the mailbox <b>yahoobox@yahoo.com</b> ( other than <b>gmailbox@gmail.com</b>) received a email contained the following centent from <b>MAILER-DAEMON@linhostssl21.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net</b>

The original message was received at Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:46:54 -0700
from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]

  ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<gmailbox@gmail.com>
    (reason: 553 sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1))

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----

Any help would be appreciated !

Hi OnlyBlue

Does your GoDaddy linux host allows mail relaying for domains that aren't yours, like yahoo.com in this case? Try to change the AdminEmail and EmailSender settings to an address of a domain configured in your GoDaddy account. Most likely this is not an eZ Publish issue, as I find a lot of other topics on the internet about this: http://www.google.be/search?q=godaddy+%2B+553+sorry%2C+your+mail+was+administratively+denied

Good luck!

Hi, Kristof Coomans
You are right! Thanks for your help!
Two problems remain unsolved.
1. The following code in email is redundant.

<!-- START: including template: design/standard/templates/user/registrationinfo.tpl (design:user/registrationinfo.tpl) -->

<!-- STOP: including template: design/standard/templates/user/registrationinfo.tpl (design:user/registrationinfo.tpl) -->

2. The <b>%siteurl</b> is not correct.

Thank you for registering at localhost/ezp/index.php.

It should be <b>mydomain/index.php</b>

I didn't figure out how to resolve these two problems until now. Any help would be most welcome.

With best regards!

Hi again OnlyBlue

For 1), take a look at http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/debug_templatesettings

2) the user/register view uses the current hostname (from the HTTP headers) to send the e-mail with. You need to ensure there is a http:// prepended in the mail template it uses. I agree though that it is not a good practice to just use the host name from the request, and I will report this in the issue tracker.

Hi, Kristof Coomans

The first problem was solved by clearing all che cache.
I have saw the http://issues.ez.no/10129 just now and know how to solved the second problem.

Thank you very much.
