Problem automatic confirmation emails not received

[Eric_B]

Hello,

I have just created my shop Magento 1.9.2.2 and my clients do not receive automatic confirmation email after placing order (bank cheque and Paypal).

I can not find any other solution than to click on invoice and check "send an invoice by email" for each order.

I made all the transactional emails of the site and I selected them in system → configuration → sales → sales mails.

The sending is activated, the contact address selected is good. I have configured an email copy to check and I do not get any emails either (unless I send the invoice manually)

After checking the phpinfo () function; On the server I checked the following configuration
System → configuration → advanced → system → E-mail sending settings
Disable e-mails: no
Server: localhost
Port (25): 25
Enter the return path: no

The values ​​match those found on the server.

The site is located on a shared server (pro) OVH.

If you have other ideas I am taker, any help is welcome.

Hi @Eric_B,

Since Magento 1.9 emails are not being sent directly. All emails are being stored in a queue that is handled by cron jobs.

So you need to be sure that you Magento cron job is properly configured.

You can check how-to here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/install/installing_install.html#install-cron

Hello, thank you for your answer, sorry to reply to you later.

I had to check with my web host. Not having access to SSH, a cron spot is now scheduled on the cron file of my PHP server.

I was able to program a cron spot via the interface of my shared host but the deadline is one hour minimum.

Despite this configuration, the email list is not processed. So I tested it in manual the cron.php file,
I get a 403 forbidden error. I think this is a htacess problem. I would like to know how to configure this part.
