Hey.

 

Found some odd behaviour today when trying to get OSCommerce working. In error, we had 5 full emails accounts set up that also had forwarders set up.

 

For some reason, it was not possible to send an email from a process on the webserver to that domains email account.

 

When I deleted the full accounts, just leaving the forwarding addresses, the forwarding worked fine.

 

Would you expect this behaviour?

Not sure but when ever I want to send email from a form to multiple email addresses I send the form data to the forward address which in turn sends it to the actual accounts.

 

In cpanel you can configure multiple forwards.

sales@your-domain.ext --> joe@your-domain.ext

sales@your-domain.ext --> mary@your-domain.ext

etc...

Thanks Bruce - appreciate the comment, however this wasn't the real issue. The problem wasn't being able to send from the site to multiple acocunts, the problem appears to be a conflict between forwards with the same name as full email accounts. For some reason we couldn't send to any account on the box at all. As soon as I put my gmail account into oscommerce, mail started to flow. Still can't work out what's going on for the life of me.

 

Cheers,
