Hello I was wanting to ask about a problem I am having. I created a contact form that sends the form details to me via email but for some reason on this host that script wont send the email out. Is there something I need to do to have that request sent out or is there a restriction to what can be used? I had this on another host before I moved to This one (btw this site is much better than any other sites) seems not to let it work. Thanks for your time.

Hello,

Please ensure that the content-type header is present and set to text/plain. There are also known issues with sending to Windows Live email addresses, due to past abuse of the mail system.
I just ran a mail test script on your server and it sent the message fine, which suggests the problem is with your script, most likely with the content-type.

Thanks.

I have worked on my php form but it still does not seem to work. I have one last question which might answer my question. Is the mail(); turned off for free hosting? That might be why my php might work but I do not receive an email once submitted.

Thanks :)

Check you site's email account via cPanel. You should see if the emails are being bounced back.

If you are sending them to a hotmail account, they will be bounced back. Due to abuse by some members, Hotmail refuses emails from x10hosting's email server (this happens to a lot of free hosting providers).

If that is the case, your alternatives are to create a non-Hotmail email account to send to (last time I checked, Gmail was not blocking x10hosting emails) OR set up a Google Apps account for your domain and send the emails via PHPMailer and SMTP.
