PHP sendmail function

[xfm_rox]

Is the sendmail function disabled on these servers?

I am unable to send mail thorugh a PHP contact form embedded in a page.

Or are there some settings that require amending?

 

[xfm_rox]

What does it take to get a simple answer round here?

I note that a lot of threads are simply closed without a response.

Why are there problems with the servers nearly every f*****ing day too?

PHP mail() function is enabled and working. There is no PHP sendmail() function.

Make sure that you have included 'From' headers, preferably with an account from the domain sending the mail.

Also, some mail providers have labeled the x10 servers as spam, due to abuse by a few users. Check the spam folder of the recipient and also the returned mail of your domain.

I have tested sending mail from a php form on my site and from a registration php page.

I have included from headers and no mail is ever received by the email address and it does not go into a spam or junk folder. I require this functionality to verify new users in the database.

No mail is recieved, I believe nothing is being sent as I have tried this with multiple email addresses and none have received anything.

So any ideas why no mails are being sent or received?

Could there be a problem with your script? Try a simple PHP Mail script from Google or post your code.

There is nothing wrong with the script as it works on other hosting servers!

Apologies if its so obvious I missed it, but where in that code chunk you just pasted does it call mail()?

Cause a find search for mail( returns nothing, and it doesn't look like any of that code will actually tell php to send the mail. It sets up all the headers and the message, but doesn't seem to -do- anything with it once it's got it ready.

 

[masshuu]

If you'll forgive me, but all that does is set up a bunch of variables. Is there any other code?
It appears to be part of a http://www.easyphpcontactform.com/ config.
Are you call it directly or are you calling contact.php?

 

[xfm_rox]

Yes, it does call on other files, but essentially the to and from are detailed in the top part of the code...

Here>>>>>$to = 'xfm_rox@hotmail.com';
/* From email address, in case your server prohibits sending emails from
* addresses other than those of your own domain (e.g. email@yourdomain.com).
* If this is used then all email messages from your contact form will appear
* from this address instead of actual sender. */
Here>>>>>$from = 'info@dommesites.x10hosting.com';

I know the contact form works as I have tried it on other non x10hosting domains and they work. It is not working on x10hosting domains, does anyone know why?

 

[Livewire]

Like I already said - where does it call mail()?

All that chunk of code does is set up the variables. It doesn't appear to actually -do- anything with them once it's set them up.


Edit: After your little blow-up on IRC I'm officially done trying to assist with this. We get that it works on other hosts, but you don't seem particularly interested in either us trying to help fix it, or in fixing it yourself. I'll still be keeping an eye on this thread though; keep it in line.

 

[xfm_rox]

It's not the code, it's an issue with the server.

Add the contact form from the web site I gave you, configure it and get it to send an email to yourself. Not a x10 address.

I bet it doesn't work. Something has been mis configured or disabled on whatver server, stoli I think I'm hosting on. But correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW - blow up? I was just making a point, if I have to be colourful (that's the proper spelling) to do so, I will!

 

[Livewire]

Actually it just got easier for us, since your entire site is breaking the Adult Material section of the TOS (advertisement of dominatrix services in London, pictures included). This is a zero tolerance violation and results in a permanent suspension.

As such I'm closing this topic since the issue is now solved (albeit not the resolution you were looking for).
