HostGator and email configuration


Recommended Posts

After spending several days trying to get the emails on prestashop to work on hostgator i thought i would post what works incase anyone else is having the problem.

My biggest mistake was setting my Shop Email address to my gmail account instead of an email address at my domain. Since i did that i wasn't getting email from the get go, and assumed that PHP mail didn't work with hostgator. So i spent several days playing with the SMTP email, which i never got to work.

HostGator does support PHP mail. Just verify that you are using an email address that is on the same domain as your shop. Below are the locations that you need to check:

Preferences >> Contact
Shop e-mail is set to: [email protected]

Employees >> Contacts
Both webmaster and Customer service have their email set to: [email protected]
