Not sending emails
Hi,
I just downloaded the script, because I love the simplicity of it. I changed the email address and uploaded it to test it out. Target email is the only thing I changed. You can now find it here:
http://www.theletter3.com/Overheard/contact.php
The error messages work fine, and the thank you message appears as well. But no emails are being sent. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
I am using your sign.me guestbook on the same server, and it's working just fine.
Thanks,
T

Re: Not sending emails
Taustin,
Does the guestbook send emails when someone signs up? (set up the option on SignMe 1.5). If so, it is a problem with the ContactForm script. If not, it may be a problem with a server setting.

Re: Not sending emails
I'm using signme 1.4, and don't really wanna go through the hassle of installing the new version.....in other words, no it doesn't send emails, the problem might well be with the server.
Any idea how I can find out if the server settings are at fault? What kind of server setting would I be looking for?

Re: Not sending emails
Sometimes servers have security measures that don't allow the PHP mail() function to send to an email that is not located on the same server (in other words, if you are sending a form email from www.mysite.com, it will only let you send email to email@mysite.com). That may be a problem, or there can be other possibilities as well.
If you send me your ContactForm script, I can upload it to my server and we'll see if your settings will send an email (since I know my server allows me to send email via PHP mail). Send an email to sid [at] sidtheduck [dot] com.

I tried with an email address of the same server, no result. I just sent you the code I am testing.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: Not sending emails
I just tried it out and it sent an email to my email address. I also just sent you one too. Did it come through?
