Form Emails Not Sending
Permalink
Greetings,
I have the need to publish forms on my site for people to fill out. I've selected in the block for the form editor to email the form data to a certain user, however, the forms are not being emailed. Looking through the logs, I notice that whenever the forms try to send email, I get this error:
We're self hosting on a server running ubuntu 11.04. Emailing form data has never worked. After doing some research, I figured we were probably missing a mail server program on the server, so I installed postfix. In all honesty, postfix is probably not configured right. Before I go crazy trying to figure out what's misconfigured with postfix, I decided to ask y'all and see if there might be something else going on.
This is our environment:
Am I missing a php extension? Do I need to somehow tell Concrete5 to use postfix instead of zendmail? Where would I fix that?
I should mention, the form does collect the data, but I don't want to have to remember to check if someone filled out the form. I want it to email the form data to the appropriate user automatically.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rafael
