Problem with mail setup

posts: 4 Germany

Hi,

while trying to configure tiki I ran into a problem with the
email setup. We do not use 'sendmail', so I need to use sth.
like 'mailx'.

php.ini:
sendmail_path = "/usr/bin/mailx -t -r USERNAME at my.domain.de"

In GUI I have not many choices, so I use 'sendmail', UTF-8
encoding.

Sending a test mail from within the installation script
(tiki-install.php#mail) works fine, but trying to save
my mail setting in 'admin preferencesA (tiki-admin.php?page=general)
fails, moaning "Warning: Unable to send mail"

But log says:

mail() on /path/to/tiki/10.2/lib/webmail/htmlMimeMail.php:734: To: USERNAME at my.domain.de — Headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 From: USERNAME at my.domain.de Return-Path: USERNAME at my.domain.de Reply-To: USERNAME at my.domain.de Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID:


What did I miss? Any ideas of what's going wrong (where
I am wrong ;-) )

thanks,
Sven

Well, OK, I could hunt down this problem to my mailer used, 'mailx', which seems to have problems with UTF-8.
Now I use a tiny perl wrapper to redirect mail content directly to our mail server via SMTP. Now it works.
