Ion auth not emailing

[funch]

I can't get ion auth to email me, for instance when trying to get a new password. Nothing happens. Usually i get my emails working with CI by adding a config directly to the email lib call, but that doesn't change anything either.

What can i possible do wrong here??

[benedmunds]

Give me an example of the code you're using. I also recommend using an email config file.

Well i tried just to change a bit in the libraries/ion_auth.php so that i called this instead: $config = array(smtp info) $this->ci->load->library('email', $config);

Somehow my CI is not working with email config in the config folder as a config file. Not sure why, but usually my emails are working fine when i do like that. Maybe the problem really is because my email config is not working, and i really don't know why..

[benedmunds]

If you try to email with that config in your own controller (outside of ion auth) does it work? If not, it's something with your environment or setup...

Yes it works perfectly fine outside of ion auth with that config exactly.

[benedmunds]

What if you use a config file? Is the ion auth config set to email for what your testing?

[funch]

I can't use a config file, i have no idea but my CI won't use a config file for emails. Its just not working at all, get a bunch of php errors and have tried different things. If you somehow know a trick to that as well it would be very helpful.

I think the script is sending now, after i tried the config again inside the lib file. It ended up in spam folder, but at least it was sent.

[benedmunds]

Glad it's working.

For the config file error, what version of CI? Post some examples of what you did and the errors you got.

[funch]

I autoload: email config, email library I have this inside email config:

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp'; $config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.url.com'; $config['smtp_user'] = 'postmaster@url.com'; $config['smtp_pass'] = 'pass'; $config['mailtype'] = 'html'; $config['charset'] = 'utf-8';

When trying to send emails i get a lot of errors:

fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known fsockopen(): unable to connect to smtp.url.com:25 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known) fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

and so on.. But that is weird for the EXACT same info just loaded with the lib load: $this->load->library('email',$config) works perfectly....

[benedmunds]

That is weird, I don't think you need to auto load the config if you load the library.

This is so weird.. i tried with a different local outgoing server, and now its working.. but funny it worked before with the configuration directly at the lib load... thanks anyway :)

[benedmunds]

Have fun.

[sigmason]

hi, benedmunds, i am facing similar issue, i has put following in ion_auth config file $config['use_ci_email'] = TRUE; $config['email_config'] = array( 'mailtype' => 'html', 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.googlemail.com', 'smtp_port' => 465 , 'smtp_timeout'=>'30', 'smtp_user' => 'xxx@gmail.com', 'smtp_pass' => '**', 'charset' => 'utf-8', 'newline' => '\r\n', 'smtp_crypto' => 'ssl', 'charset' => "iso-8859-1" );

Can you pls tell what is wrong

[charlesdg]

@sigmason +1, did you fix it?

[sigmason]

i tried alot, but its not working out. I am using email functionality of code-ignitor instead of automated mail to be sent by ion auth.

[charlesdg]

@sigmason @benedmunds I did it! I modify when line in the Ion_auth library

go to libraries/Ion_auth.php I changed the line $this->email->clear(); by $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

and it's working perfectly!

Dear All,

Email always as junk instead as at inbox in hotmail. anyone know the cause? Thank you

[benedmunds]

That just depends on your email server and how hosts classify it. Using gmail SMTP will help. If you need more than that I recommend SendGrid.

@benedmunds, I use smtp gmail:

$config['use_ci_email'] = TRUE; $config['email_config'] = array( 'mailtype' => 'html', 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com', 'smtp_user' => 'mymail@gmail.com', 'smtp_pass' => '**', 'smtp_port' => 465 );

in gmail and yahoo in as inbox, but just in hotmail as junk. there is no other way but to use the SendGrid?

[benedmunds]

I would read up on hotmails junk policies and try to meet those. Things like using real emails, not using reply to, having unsubscribe links, etc help with not being spam filtered.

@benedmunds, please tell me if you know the cause. I already use a different smtp (gmail and yahoo) but the result remains the same. Thank you :)

[benedmunds]

I don't know the cause. You will need to do some research on hotmails spam filtering.

Try this : change in /librairies/Ion_auth.php

line 93 $this->email->initialize($email_config); by $this->load->library('email', $email_config);

Work for me :+1:

[sharonrajarajeswari]

Password Reset Email Sent I got this message. But i cant get the email in the inbox??? what to do? I need a quick answer????

[benedmunds]

You should create a test controller to send emails so you have debug your email config

[sharonrajarajeswari]

ben sry i cant understand . give some code example

[benedmunds]

Make your own controller with test email code

[ilmimris]

Hi @benedmunds,
can I see your test email code? Thank You!
