Bluehost blocks port 25 to help reduce spamming from their servers. Try using "phpmail" instead of an external SMTP server.

Is there actually a way around this? Having the same problem and using the PHP Mail function works but has the bluehost box address not the email address and looks odd. Any help appreciated:)

hi mojoburns,
Have you find a solution for this problem? I hate the bluehostbox thing on the emails! thank you.

Thanks for giving life to a year old thread ; ) There is what I did to ensure all emails came from one set email. Make a change to "concrete/helpers/mail.php" before $mail->setFrom I added



Hope this helps - all emails will say this

Thank so much fro replying, I tried your suggestion, but I did not work, if I use the external SMTP I wont receive the emails and using the regular email function it still will show the weird bluehostbox email!

I am sending using the normal php mail sender. What kind of emails are you sending, I only test for confirmation emails? I am also using bluehost and this prevented the bluehostbox from address.

EDIT: Did you make sure you put this code BEFORE the setFrom?

EDIT: What does the from email say? before the bluehostbox?

Thank you. Your solution worked perfectly for me!

Does anyone know where to make this change in 5.6?

concrete/helpers/mail.php does not have settings anymore...

Thanks!

After a recent upgrade to 5.6.1.2 l am back to the mailer problem where Bluehost is showing up as in the from address. Can anyone help?

Thanks

If you upgraded to a newer version of Concrete5, you may have lost this functionality. The fix for me was to make sure I duplicated the mail.php file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So make a copy of your mail.php file…

from:
YourSite.com/public_html/concrete/helpers/mail.php (This is where the original file that work now reside)

to:
YourSite.com/public_html/helpers/mail.php (This directory might be empty right now)

WARNING: your paths might be a little different than mines, so just look for the two "Helpers" directories and make the necessary changes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps others with the same problem.
