Send Email to Admin NOT WORKING

[littleone]

For some reason the "Send email to admin" does not work.  Any reason for this?  I am using 2.2

What do you mean by "not working"?

If its something like, you send the mail, but it doesnt arrive, are you using Hotmail?  For some reason, Hotmail likes to delete emails from some servers.  Still havent looked into how to get around this.

Yea I figured it out about an hour after I made the post.  It was hotmail.  Thats completely dumb of hotmail.  Anyway I am pretty sure its because it coming from "Nobody" so since hotmail dont recognize a sender, is probably why its deleting it.

Yeah, very annoying. Gmail handles it fine.  Must look into how to get hotmail to accept it

That sounds like a configuration problem on your server.

You could try doing this to fix it:
Open Sources/shop/items/EmailAdmin.php, and find:
        mail($to, $subject, $message) or die("Error sending message to admin! Please inform the Admin of this error. This item will still be available in your inventory.");
Replace with:
        mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: Your Name <youremail>") or die("Error sending message to admin! Please inform the Admin of this error. This item will still be available in your inventory.");
Replace the  'Your Name' with your name, and 'youremail' with your email address. This will try to attach a 'From' header to the email.
