Configuration > System > SMTP Settings

there says: SMTP Settings (Windows Server Only)

And I use linux

Yes, I too am having the same email trouble. No email being sent,

Guys - product looks great, and on paper is fantastic. But I think this should have been called RC1 rather than 1.0

I’m Using Linux Red Hat Cpanel
I found that you have to allow the “nobody” user to send emails. I don’t really like that, because its a potential risk, but customers need to get their emails somehow. Maybe this can be changed in the next version.

I love 1.0 its the shiznit by the way.

SOLVED!!!
It’s doesn’t work because i have different locale than US !!

So, as I’ve asked elsewhere, are we seriously saying that if you specify a non-US locale, that email will NOT work?

Just to check, I changed my locale to US and still NO emails being sent. I tried sending a test message via the contact form. No go.

I mean, what?? Magento looks great and has a great backend, but what’s the point if it has these basic errors in it.

Once again, thanks to the developers for getting it this far, and I may be missing something. But if I am, let me know!

Is there a help page for setting up email?

EDIT: ok, changing the locale to US does solve the email problem. But since it too about 15 mins to receive the emails I thought otherwise.

But, I guess I’d like to know why this is? My server at Dreamhost happens to be in the US. Is that why mail only works when I change the locale to US. I’m actually in New Zealand and use the NZ timezone.

I’ve installed 1.0 with spanish locale (es_ES) and is true that magento don’t send mail. Switching to US locale it solves the problem.
it surprises to me that nobody has realized this, being the first stable version…
(I’m running on gentoo linux)

hi, I have installed Magento in french fr_Fr, in FreeBSD, actually (0.9.17740)
And magneto send mail

But since i changed email name and translate information, Magento send just newaccount mail
with the new version sales mail configuration changed, I don’t know where is sales email configuration ?

My config SMTP (Configuration > System > SMTP Settings)
Host ; localhost
Port : 25

it’s a big problem, i’m in locale french fr_FR and magento don’t send mail, when i go back to US locale it works fine !!!!  Is it a Big BUG

someone has already report this bug, http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue?issue=1619

anyone from magento dev team ? is it a bug known ?

The bug is listed as ‘resolved’, so I’m sure they know about it.  Hopefully they will make a patch available, although I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see a bug fix release sooner rather than later.

I believe the issue is that email templates only exist for the en_US locale. For me, using the en_GB locale the solution was to copy magento/app/locale/en_US to magento/app/locale/en_GB

Perhaps the optional french [1] and german [2] language packs contain translated email templates?

This is a bug. The way to work a round it is to include a copy of the email template under your specific locale. We will release another revision to 1.0 soon that will include some bug fixes including a fix for this bug.

thanks

I think this locale setting issue is just one symptom of a more far-reaching bug:
In many cases, email sends will fail silently - being reported as successful by the user interface.

For example, I looked into the contact-us form:
It looks like /magento/app/code/core/Mage/Contacts/controllers/IndexController.php is setup to catch exceptions while missing that Template.php’s send function returns false on failure.
