Silvia Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I've created a web shop with FileMaker 5 (it's now hosted on 5.5 unlimited). The shop is supposed to send a confirmation e-mail to the customer once his order has gone through the system. It worked great as long as it was hosted on my machine on the local network, but when I moved it to another computer outside the network it stops sending mail. So I figure the mailhost address is wrong. Does anyone know what to write to make it work?! Here is the code for sending the mail: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="FMPro" NAME="checkoutform"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Orders.FP5"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="thanks.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-error" VALUE="checkout.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="CGI"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-token" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Order ID" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-edit" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Account Number" value=0> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Expiration Date" value=0> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailhost" VALUE="gatekeeper.idefag.no"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailfrom" VALUE="[email protected]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailcc" VALUE="[email protected]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailbcc" VALUE="[email protected]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailto" VALUE="[FMP-field:Customers::Email]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailsub" VALUE="KB Design Bestilling"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailformat" VALUE="emailorder.txt"> </FORM> NB! I've replaced the e-mail addys here with fake addys. I hope someone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Spall Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Hi, it looks to me as if your mailserver is set to accept mail from within your network without asking for a username and password, but once you're outside the network, it looks like a relay to the server. You could set the mailserver to allow relay from the FileMaker machine's IP address. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
