majinfaisal Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I set the storeowner email in the admin section and when i try to send a message through the contact us page ,i get to the page that says the mail was sent successfully. But when i check my mail inbox there is no email there... any ideas on what is not working here? thanks for any help provided
majinfaisal Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 Any help into understanding why contact emails arent being sent?
Guest Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 In Admin, under Configuration --> E-mail Options: check out your email transport method, sometimes a server can use sendmail, others require smtp. This made a huge difference when I was on a powweb server once. Hope that helps, Jrock
majinfaisal Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 On the siteowner email section in the admin area of the website i have entered my hotmail email address, should i be using an email provided by my webhost? i dont think this is actually the case, is it?? I have tried both sendmail and smtp but neither seem to send a message :s Im a bit baffled why this isn't working...thanks again for further replies.
Guest Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I would use an address for your domain, see if that helps. Make sure you it is a valid email address which you should be able to set up via your domains control panel.
majinfaisal Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 I would do that if my host provided free email lol(currently the site is in testing phase), so cant test it that way till i find a new webhost (which i will look into pretty soon), but i dont see why this does not work with what i currently have set up...
