Not receiving email sent through PHP contact form.

Hey all,

Hoping someone here can help, I've got a contact forum on this website installed and working (in the sense that it produces a success message)

http://www.theburnsidehotel.co.uk/

However, I don't receive the email? I have it configured to send to mark@cravenpublishing.com in the PHP script but nothings coming through?

I have postfix installed, my hostname is configured properly

root@server1:~# hostname -f
server1.cravenpublishing.com

Here's a pasta of my last few lines of mail.log (I filled out the contact form and submitted it on the site just before opening this)

Any ideas? Ta

According to the log you listed, there were 3 mails sent, one to local user (www-data), another to a .pl email (refused because sender domain has not MX entry), and third to a gmail which apparently passed through.

However, the from lines list local user hostname only domain. Are you setting From header in your PHP app? Alternatively you might wish to fix the myorigin config of Postfix to list your full domain (cravenpublishing.com) if that's the only one it is sending for.

Not sure what you mean by 'sender domain doesnt have a MX entry' is MX not for incoming mails? What should I set it to to fix that error?

I fixed the myorigin config and cravenpublishing.com now displays.

The problem I'm having is that the email I submit from that contact form doesnt even show up in my mail.log??

@craven:

It means that the recipient of email sent from your server replied with 421 Refused, saying that the sender address (www-data@cravenpublishing) has no MX. MX is for incoming mails, yes, but spam filtering (recipient's) can, and in this case probably does, check for MX existence for sender domains, which in this case was invalid because it's not a fqdn.

> The problem I'm having is that the email I submit from that contact form doesnt even show up in my mail.log??

Check PHP error logs, possibly PHP had no permission to call Postfix' sendmail utility.

Edit: but seeing that the sender of emails in the log you presented is www-data@cravenpublishing, seems like PHP does send mail.

Go back a few more lines in your mail log. That one with from=<> is your server bouncing a message as undeliverable, so there should be some log activity before that that might tell you more about why.

Ah, I see. Well it has a fqdn now so that should be resolved.

Yeah, php is sending mail, and I can't see anything in my php log that would indicate an error. Here's a copy paste of my last few lines straight after I try and submit a contact form

As you can see,just looks like some errors generated from other wordpress sites on my server.

Huh? I'm sorry, my bad, didn't realize you were using google apps. I'd recommend you set myorigin to $myhostname in Postfix, so that your local (system) users stay local and not get relayed to google.

You then have to fix your PHP scripts to put proper From header in the mail they send out, unless you're satisfied with www-data @ server1.cravenpublishing.com be the address recipients see messages coming from.

This, however, won't fix your problem of not seeing messages put through the contact form. Your PHP seems to be sending email fine (as www-data user), although the logs do look a bit spammy (misbehaving wp module?).

So at this point I'd check your contact form configuration, or your domain's php.ini. Are the www-data entries seen in the logs from virtual domains using different php.ini? Is the form using native PHP's mail, or opening a SMTP connection "manually"?
