EMAIL not being received (no return path in header)

[sarubin]

I've spent the last couple of days trying to figure this out...

I'm ready to load my sign up forms onto my live website, but there's a major email issue.

When I subscribe from an email address on my own server, everything works fine.

But no emails are ever being sent to any other off server email addresses.

I looked up one side and down the other, and finally discovered that the return path in my emails is empty... Return-path: <> (a big spam flag for most any server)

I've set everything up in the account options, and the "from:", "to:", and "reply to:" are all set.

From: steve@mydomain <steve@mydomain.com>
To: subscriber <subscriber@emailaddress.com>
Subject: Subscriber Please confirm your subscription
Reply-To: steve@mydomain.com
Sender: steve@mydomain <steve@mydomain.com>

What do I need to do to get a return path to show up?:confused:

Thanks,
Steve

Add your email under Account Option,

Reply-to header:

Yes sir,

My email is already filled in,:) (obviously, that was the first thing I did)

I filled in all the blanks, but it's not translating to the message header return path.:(

Any other ideas?:confused:

Thanks

Well, I got it working...

I had to set up a SMTP mailbox on my server and change the delivery method from sendmail to smtp. Sendmail works fine for all my other applications, but
here's what I've been looking at for the last couple of days with the AMLM app...

Return-path: <>
Envelope-to: subscriber@emailaddress.com

From: Steve <me@mydomain.com>
To: Subscriber <subscriber@emailaddress.com>
Subject: Confirmation
Reply-To: me@mydomain.com


Here's what it looks like now...

Return-path: < me@mydomain.com >
Envelope-to: subscriber@emailaddress.com

From: Steve <me@mydomain.com>
To: Subscriber <subscriber@emailaddress.com>
Subject: Confirmation
Reply-To: me@mydomain.com


I still don't know why the sendmail option is leaving the return path empty, but at least it works (that's the main thing)

If you ever figure it out, let me know

Please contact your host's technical support and hear what they say.

Hi Doc,

I checked with my web host, and guess what they said...

They said to contact the software vendor (no surprises there)

Anyway, as long as the program is working, I'm not going to sweat the small stuff.

All the best,

Steve

I have checked and I don't have that problem with my server.

Also, this is the only report I received so far.

If anyone has the same problem appreciate if they can post here.
