[Typo3-dev] mail sending under cgi

[Jan-Erik Revsbech]

The userforms uses the t3lib_htmlmail for sending emails. So as I pointed out the mail() call in htmlmail is the one you need to "hack" to get it working.

BTW there is some thought about replacing all mail sending with a service, so you can choose wihich mailing method you want to use, but it is still on the drawing board.

Hi Jan.

Thanks for your response. I've spent the day digging into mail() and 
have decided that it is the culprit, and I've fixed the part where the 
backend sends an email to say that someone has logged in using phpmailer.

However, I'm trying to find the spot where the mail that a user form is 
sent from. I've been looking around in the t3lib, and found a few likely 
places, but nothing seems to be really working.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to remove the mail() and 
replace it with phpmailer?

Why isn't this just another class that I can unplug and replace! Grrrr!
