I’m trying to reference this (old) gist for a contact form on Kirby 2, but am having trouble getting it to actually work… As expected, it doesn’t work locally and throws the mail exception error. On my staging server, it doesn’t throw any errors at all, but nor do any emails go through. Is there an…

[image] Chris Cubellis: On my staging server, it doesn’t throw any errors at all, but nor do any emails go through It comes up a big “message sent”, though, when I send you a message. The problem with sending mails is often that these mails don’t get through if you have no proper mail server…

That’s just because it’s not throwing any errors though, right? So the front-end assumes that it sent, but it hasn’t actually. So the problem is more likely that I haven’t set up email otherwhere on my server? I didn’t realize it was something that had to be setup, tbh – do you have any advice? It’…

[image] Chris Cubellis: That’s just because it’s not throwing any errors though, right? No, if there were any errors and the message wasn’t sent, you wouldn’t get the success message. I assume the message gets sent but gets blocked by your mail provider. Still nothing in your inbox? I sent …

Definitely nothing coming through…it’s my main email, too. Nothing in my spam folder, either. It’s supposed to be sending to this email from the controller, right? 'to' => 'chrs.cblls@gmail.com',

The to address and from address are identical. Try changing one of them. ive had issues with this in the past. Try setting the from to something like noreply@cblls.com I think probably gmail is flagging it as spam and either rejecting it or throwing it in the spam folder. Your own server might even…

I think it’s probably a server issue or unsupported or something…I tried changing the from, as well as swapping in a non-gmail throwaway (mailinator) to the to– both no go. I also tried @texnixe ’s debugging command and just got “-bash: log: command not found” :frowning: Currently waiting for my ho…

[image] Chris Cubellis: it’s kinda just superfluous site procrastination anyways lol I think so. I never got anything useful through contact forms.

Well, all is not lost. You could try looking at the mailog. There is a good guide here https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204643910/checking-the-mail-log You can also use the Uniform plugin and set it up as SMTP rather than sending it from the sever. But yes as @texnixe says and your al…

Ah yeah, they don’t allow using the email port I guess– “You can’t use email ports here, you would have to use a relay.” I’ll just table it for now and maybe try out Uniform for the relay sometime…gotta admit it looked kinda cool though :frowning: Thanks for the help!
