Magento – Sales emails not being received

email

We have had several websites where the sales emails have not been received by the client or customer (configured in System -> Configuration -> Sales Emails).

We have no problems receiving any of them and often it's a matter of the store owner not getting the BCC/separate emails.

Does anybody have any recommendations with regards to server setup/changes in Magento to help with the reliability of sending emails?

We have looked at using AShroder's SMTP Pro module but before going down that road I'd be interested to hear opinions.

This is not a problem of Magento itself.

But if you send mails directly via a mail delivery agent from your webserver, the configuration of this one might be neglected.

I am assuming you send via the standard Linux mail delivery.

You have the following options:

  1. configure your mail system on the Magento server to use a well configured mail server for example of your ISP
  2. use an extension - AShroder's SMTP Pro module would fit.

One interesting provider which promises (untested) to take a lot of effort that your mail is actually delivered is Amazon SES - the module you mentioned also has a dedicated interface to Amazon SES.
