Hi,

I am having problems with the contact form not sending notification emails. The contact form confirms that the email has been sent however I never receive them I have checked the email address in the form and that is correct

I am using version 1.4.1.1
ZPArdoise version 1.3
Contact form v1.4.1

Further to the above I can confirm that the server error log has no errors in it after 23/08/2011 (I have tried the contact form today).

PHP Version 5.2.6

Sendmail is enabled.

Did you specific an email address on the main option to send FROM? Some servers require this to be an existing address on that server.

Thanks for the reply acrylian,

I am a little confused I can not seem to find the "main option"

I have set the email address at the bottomof the contact_form within options>plugins

That is the address to send to. The one to send from is on Options > Gallery at the bottom. Often it works with anything but not on all servers.

If it does not work with a real mail address you have on your server best contact your host what to use.

I have found the site email at the bottom of the options > general Page, Ihave it set to the ame email address as the form.

On earlier php forms i had to put in the following to make it work;

ini_set("sendmail_from","xxx@xxxxxxxx.co.uk");
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.xxxxxx.co.uk");

Would this work if it was included in the code, if so where would I put it.

I have just read the following on my hosts help files, I hope this will help, and how do I implement it.

"If you are using a third party script to send email remember to set the sendmail_from variable (using ini_set('sendmail_from',email_from)), add the fifth -f parameter, and send the email either to, or from, a Fasthosts hosted email address".

I guess you need to set the ini value manually, best via htaccess if possible, for now. Or try the phpmail plugin instead.

Thanks for your time and help, the php mail plugin worked.
