Thread: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

When I choose "Yes" for Email Notifications, every time someone places an ad, it goes to a 500 Internal Server Error message.

I choose "No", and it's fine.

I've disable all plugins. It happens with or without plugins, they aren't the problem.
Choosing "Yes" to "Send an email once a new ad is posted" is the only thing that kicks out the error.

Re: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

Sounds like a server side issue with your hosting company.

Have them look into it.

Yeah, I'd agree with Sarge here, sounds like a host issue. Let us know how you get on.

Re: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

But why does it not do it when a user registers? That sends out an email too.

Re: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

This is the error in the error log:
malformed header from script. Bad header=No recipient addresses found i: /var/chroot/home/content/b/l/a/blahblah/html/erikaslist/classifieds/index.php

Re: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

I found this on the web:

What do I do about a "... malformed header from script. Bad header=No recipient addresses found ..." error?

It appears that the script is trying to email to a destination that isn't a valid email address.

If your script uses configuration files with email addresses or if email addresses are hard coded in the script, verify those are present and correctly formatted. Also, if your script processes a form, verify that the field names are spelled correctly, especially the ones having to do with email addresses. (Form field names are case sensitive.) If a script mails to an email address provided on the form, that form field should be required to be filled in.

So I don't think my server is the problem. It's the script.

Also when a new user registers:

malformed header from script. Bad header=No recipient addresses found i: /var/chroot/home/content/b/l/a/blahblah/html/erikaslist/classifieds/wp-login.php

But this one's at wp-login.php, not index.php

I had this problem with this install a couple months ago. My client had me put the classifieds in other folder at another web address, and now it's back to doing this nonsense again.

Re: Email Notifications causes Internal Server Error

I notice when you try and send an e-mail from your site, the path is missing a forwardslash that mine has when someone tries to send an e-mail
