wp_mail don't work

[Crandel]

Hi Stefano,
After a big research of my sending problem , I found that wp_mail, don’t work.
I worked over the file diagnostic.php on “$r = wp_mail” line
I change this line to mail() function with a differents params, like sender, from, cc, bcc, and the server is not filter my emails.
But when I return to wp_mail() I can’t deliver any mail. No error is returned.
I really can’t found the problem with it.
You have any idea ?

Thanks

Crandel

You provider is dropping the email. The function probably work, is the mail server not delivering the email. Have you contacted your provider asking about sending email with PHP?

wp_mail() is based on phpmailer library which uses mail() – if not differently configured.

but, mail() function deliver my mails, wp_mail() with same parameters no.

Ah, ok, so it means the wp_mail() add some header your amil serve doesn’t like. But the provider should be able to see that.

Are you under windows server?

Thank you, I writed to my server provider to check the difference between them.
They check, but don’t give me an answer yet.

But are you on a windows server? The difference is usually the header “from” which is composed by wp_mail to contain a name (“WordPress”) and an email address (“wordpress@domain.com”).

On windows I found problem some time ago because of the name, for example. But they should be able to look at the mail server log an find the problem!

[Crandel]

I don’t know if a windows server. Maybe yes. But I change the sender and not contain uppercase chars.

They solve my problem without give me a reason, but I’m not sure he can trust in his mail service because stop to work without giving any message or error.

Thanks Stefano for your interest.
