Hi there,
I have a problem with EE’s mail function. It seems that e-mail are not being received.
First I developed the site on a development domain, the mail debugging said the server was not configured in the right way. I got this message for both PHP Mail and Sendmail. I contacted my host, but he was adamant things were in place on his side.
Because I want to be sure the website is fully functioning when putting it live (on another domain as the dev domain), I decided to do a local checkout and put it on my local webserver. I got the domain set up as the eventual domain via my vhost in Apache.
When I test my contact form and mailing list, I do not receive any e-mails. I should receive a activation e-mail from my mailing list, which I don’t. And neither do I receive a notification mail from the contact form.
The weird thing is that when I try to send an e-mail via the communicate page, EE says the e-mail is sent. However, I tried numerous e-mail accounts and none received e-mail.. and I did check SPAM folders.
I am using EE 2.1.3 Build 20101220 and I use Freeform for my contact form.
In the CP I have:
Return email address for auto-generated emails: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Webmaster or site name for auto-generated emails: company name
Enable email debugging: yes
Email protocol: PHP Mail
Log email console messages: yes
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? It could be server related..
I however don’t want to wait and encounter the same problem when I put the site on the production domain.
Thanks in advance! 😊
