In my project we are sending promotion email to profile2 users after registration using Rules. Everything is working fine. We receive both email of registration link and promotion email. But Drupal give me following message:
Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists.
I successfully receive both of email so there is no need of this error. I don't know why this is happens. please help me
I have set up my Rule using this article.
That error is shown when operating system reports an error sending an email.
If you check includes/mail.inc you can see:
if (empty($message['send'])) {
$message['result'] = NULL;
}
// Sending was originally requested and was not canceled.
else {
$message['result'] = $system->mail($message);
// Log errors.
if (!$message['result']) {
watchdog('mail', 'Error sending e-mail (from %from to %to).', array('%from' => $message['from'], '%to' => $message['to']), WATCHDOG_ERROR);
drupal_set_message(t('Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists.'), 'error');
}
}
$system->mail usually maps to the DefaultMailSystem. This function just calls mail PHP function. This PHP function uses the system mail agent to deliver the mail, and returns what the mail agent has returned. That means that PHP is not in charge of sending the mail, just deliver it to the system mail agent.
So, if you receive the mails probably is a system issue: system reports an error to PHP but actually mail is sent. Check your PHP logs, mail agent logs (sendmail or postfix are very popular) to see possible warnings or errors.
First, add the SMTP module and enable it. After this, create an e-mail account for the site admin (one that doesn't get checked), and used this address in the setup for the SMTP module. Cleared the site caches, and retested. All is good now.
Also--make sure there are no spaces or returns in any field when setting stuff up, and you may want to check with your Web host on what mail port they use (usually 25 or 26).
The main cause of this issue is that some Web hosts require SMTP e-mails to be authenticated in order to cut down on spam.
