Contact form not sending emails

[sainsbury]

Hi,

This is a great product by the way, looking forward to v1 stable 

So my problem is simple - I've set up CMSMS v0.13 and everything works fine, except for the contact form. I'm running the site on Debian with Apache 2. Is there an apache module I need to enable to make the email sending work? Or some other setup I need to do? I'm sure it's something simple like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

PS I get the 'email successfully sent' message (but the email is not sent).

Are you using the CMSMailer?

Configured how?

Hiya,

No, I'm not. Is this a module I need to install for the contact form to work?

Cheers,

Yes it is here...

Actually tag "contact form" doesnt use cmsmailer, it uses php mail function (which might not work in your host)

Your best bet is to install Feedbackform and cmsmailer, its well working package and much more customizable

hope this helps

Oh I did not know that, sorry

Hiya,

Thanks for your help guys. Although I will install the Feedbackform and cmsmailer you recommend if need be, the contactform fulfils my needs adequately so I'd rather keep things simple and use that if possible. I have root access to my debian server, is there anything I could investigate to try to make the php mail function work?

Thanks,

Chris

You can create small test file to test php mail function

\r\n";
$extra .= "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n";

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $extra)) {
echo "test mail sent succesfully";
} else {
echo "something has gone wrong";
}
?>

If this works, I cant see why contact form wouldnt..

check your php config and keep an eye on logs while you test

Hope this helps
