I tried using a gmail.com address and that isn't refused, but the SMTP envelope is reported as Return-Path: <yyyyyyyyy@localhost> So the symptoms I'm seeing could be to do with tight rules at AOL and something in the standard configuration of Postfix. I've not seen this problem with any web applications that do user registration like this. TJworld on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-14159 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:03:17 +0000 TJworld 14159@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've just encountered this with 0.8.3.1. As the mail server administrator I was getting delivery failure notifications which reported that the receiving SMTP host had rejected the email with: <xxxxx@aol.com>: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57] said: 501 SYNTAX ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS (in reply to MAIL FROM command) I increased logging on Postfix and tested it and found: mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: MAIL FROM:<yyyyyyyy@localhost> mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: 501 SYNTAX ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS Where 'yyyyyyyy' is the mail server's local user account for the domain doing the sending. It looks as if the AOL server is rejecting the @localhost part of the MAIL FROM field. I've looked in the bbPress config.php and in the administration options of the dashboard but can't see why bbPress is using localhost. rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13442 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 03:21:32 +0000 rslater 13442@http://bbpress.org/forums/ when that be applied in the pluggable.php file? rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13396 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:59:39 +0000 rslater 13396@http://bbpress.org/forums/ not sure how to apply that code.. can you assist thomasklaiber on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13362 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:43:46 +0000 thomasklaiber 13362@http://bbpress.org/forums/ The bbpress mail funcion is just something I can't really understand. When I tried to use it with my favorite notification plugin I got some problems, so I decided to hardcode the mail-function into my plugin. <code> mail( $userdata->user_email, bb_get_option('name') . ':' . __('Notification'), sprintf( $message, $topic->topic_title, get_user_name($bb_current_user->ID), get_topic_link($topic_id) ), 'From: ' . bb_get_option('admin_email') ); </code> I just kept it simple there. Did someone of you try to hardcode the mailing into the registration function? Would be interesting to see if it works then?! rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13353 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 21:52:47 +0000 rslater 13353@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I wish I could just have 1 login for both sides -- and be able to merge profile into one place to edit.

I am baffled. The only thing I can think is the following: bbpress resides in folder one up from Word press. I am wondering if there is a file permission issue for that folder. But again the odd thing is.. the favorites notification works just fine and it is in the same plugin folder as the plugin Sam had me upload. I do not know. I hope Sam may have more ideas. None of this makes sense. It has to be a BBpress email php coding issue.. But why is it so different from wordpress and the bpress plugin "favorites notification" that work fine. chrishajer on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13350 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:34:03 +0000 chrishajer 13350@http://bbpress.org/forums/ One thing I always thought was interesting was that mail appears to be sent from <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a>, whether or not that is a valid email. So, if you responded to your password email or something, it would be sent to that bbpress@ address, which might be invalid, so it would bounce. I wonder if <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a> has to be set up as a valid email account on the server, so if the SMTP server says "let me make sure this is one of my users before I sent out email for him" it will work. Since you wouldn't normally have a <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a> address already set up, maybe some MTAs don't like it and give up on the mail altogether. Why wouldn't the email just be sent from the admin email address since we're asked to enter it in config.php anyway? Any thoughts? rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13343 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:15:30 +0000 rslater 13343@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Still does not work.. Can you elaborate on the "valid email" and what exactly you mean.. May sound like a dumb question but I just want to make sure i am not crazy. Which may be the case... :) sambauers on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13337 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:50:45 +0000 sambauers 13337@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Looks like it may be rejecting the mail due to the "From" email address being invalid. Try this code in a plugin and make sure your admin_email option is a valid email address: <pre><code><?php if ( !function_exists( 'bb_mail' ) ) : function bb_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers = '' ) { if (!is_array($headers)) { $headers = trim($headers); $headers = preg_split('@\r(?:\n{0,1})|\n@', $headers); } if (!count($headers) || !count(preg_grep('/^from:\s/im', $headers))) { if (!$from = bb_get_option('admin_email')) if ($uri_parsed = parse_url(bb_get_option('uri'))) if ($uri_parsed['host']) $from = 'bbpress@' . trim(preg_replace('/^www./i', '', $uri_parsed['host'])); if ($from) $headers[] = 'From: "' . bb_get_option('name') . '" <' . $from . '>'; } $headers = trim(join("\r\n", $headers)); return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } endif; ?></code></pre> chrishajer on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13326 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:42:38 +0000 chrishajer 13326@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Doesn't look like there are any errors in that log file, to the untrained eye (me.) I saw something checked into trunk today about a from email address. Maybe sambauers will comment on this thread if that change is related, or if it's something that will work as a plugin. If not, I will look up the change tomorrow. rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13316 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:17:12 +0000 rslater 13316@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Log file 01/22/08 16:52:25 [xxxxxx794F3BBD4EA70AC6DBC2D6.MAI] from (SMTP) [SMTP:r @ doubleweb.com]->[SMTP:r@doubleweb.com] System Default Route Applied. and Debug [01/22/08 12:28:15]****************** LOG FILE STARTED ******************* 01/22/08 12:28:15 Service Starting 01/22/08 12:28:15 Service Loading Agents 01/22/08 12:28:15 Resetting messages in inbound queue for List Server Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 No outgoing message files in inbound queue for List Server Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Resetting messages in inbound queue for POP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 No outgoing message files in inbound queue for POP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Resetting messages in inbound queue for SF Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 No outgoing message files in inbound queue for SF Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Resetting messages in inbound queue for SMTP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 No outgoing message files in inbound queue for SMTP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Initalised MTA Connector Collector Thread for POP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Initalised MTA Connector Collector Thread for SMTP Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Initalised MTA Connector Collector Thread for List Server Connector 01/22/08 12:28:15 Initalised MTA Connector Collector Thread for SF Connector 01/22/08 16:52:25 Processing file xxxxxx8794F3BBD4EA70AC6DBC2D6.MAI from queue SMTP 01/22/08 16:52:25 ME-MTA-ROUTE [xxxxxx4F3BBD4EA70AC6DBC2D6.MAI] from [SMTP] Connector queued to [SMTP] Connector as [xxxxxxx5444A809973864743822928.MAI] rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13315 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:00:18 +0000 rslater 13315@http://bbpress.org/forums/ that looked extremely promising.

If the favorites notification works, but the password email does not, there is some difference between the two that is probably causing the problem. chrishajer on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13188 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:16:41 +0000 chrishajer 13188@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It does. So far it appears the issue is that the IIS SMTP server doesn't like something about the mail that's being handed over from bbPress. Not sure what that is yet, but the SMTP server returns a 501 error then drops the connection. I need to find someone who is using IIS and has access to their logs to troubleshoot more thoroughly. rslater on "User Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13180 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:37:54 +0000 rslater 13180@http://bbpress.org/forums/ IIS 6.0 windows server 2003 the site is on a dedicated server.

Can you confirm that email is being sent from your server via command line or another PHP script? Also, check your spam or junk folder.
