Unable to send test email. Exception message was: Could not read from mail.lamercollections.co.id…

anyone can help me?

I’d been experiencing the “Subject set twice” exception when using SMTPPro in conjunction with a Google Apps mailbox.

The issue was very confusing for me because it was intermittent. Sometimes everything worked fine then I’d experience periods where I’d get the exception.

I was clicking the “Run Self Test” button periodically. Mails were sending fine… until I eventually received a message saying that I’d hit the send limit for my Google Apps mailbox.

Turns out there’s a limit of 2000 emails per rolling 24 hour period per Google Apps mailbox. Oh.

The rolling 24 period of the limit explained the intermittent nature of my problem. Mail sending would be refused based on what had happened in the previous 24 hours at the time of sending.

So I changed to a different email delivery mechanism that doesn’t have the same sending limitations (Amazon SES) . Problem solved.

Ashley, the “Subject set twice” exception is somewhat confusing in the situation where an SMTP connection is refused (or whatever it is that is actually happening under the hood in the situation that I experienced).

It would be nice if SMTPPro could generate a more meaningful exception in this situation. Just saying 🙂

In my case it was the hosting provider that blocked port 587, for no reason at all… so after opening a ticket, the problem was solved.

Hope it helps others…

Before, for more than one year, all worked fine – and no change was done whatsoever on the magento install (Magento 1.4.1.0).

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Plz help me, how can I resolve this issue……
Thanks

For some reason, the extension works on my local server but not my hosting. Is there a possible reason for this?

Thank you

Any plans of making it available there?

Question: do you (or anyone) have any idea why Gmail does not use the reply-to field when replying to a received contact form?

Also: great extension, thanks!

In Admin, go System->Configuration->Contacts->Email Template ->Choose “Contact Form(Default Template xx)”->Save Config

Run self-test again,if you see GREEN message,switch the Email Template back to the template you have custom created under Transactional Emails.If you run self-test again, RED message will appear,but you can safely ignore it. Unidentified bug?

Took me 1 whole long day to identify this issue 🙁
