Virtuemart does not send Mail

i have got something strange, i installed Joomla, and all mail functions work in contact for开发者_开发百科m... but in virtuemart after ordering something NO Mail is sent,..not to the person who orders and not to the owner,... any suggestiions?

I would first try to change the mail settings to SMTP in Global Configuration, although if you're standard contact forms are working then it could be something else such as a misconfiguration in your Virtuemart settings, or even your email account blocking the emails as spam.

I would definitely recommend to set your mail settings to SMTP though.

I'm not 100% certain how VM handles mail, but going on the assumption that it's using the core Joomla mailer, you might have a look at your mail setup. My own experience with the default PHP Mail Function is that it works great as long as you're sending mail to a single recipient. If you Google the subject, you'll find lots of articles that suggest the default Joomla PHP Mail Function won't mail to multiple recipients. Why this is, I don't know, as PHP Mail clearly has the ability to do so.

In any case, I've always found the simple solution is to use SMTP with password authentication (create a dedicated email address specifically for the purpose of doing mailings). You can easily setup the SMTP within Joomla by going to Global Configuration | Server | Mail Settings.
