Form Mail (email) not working

Permalink
I've been looking through a number of posts on the subject but not having any luck finding answers.

I see that my site is trying to send email but it isn't arriving. So I did a switch to smtp and have tried a number of settings to no avail. Here's what I am using:

host: mail.omorefashion.com
name: admin (also tried "admin@omorefashion.com)
port: 25 (also left it blank)

I get a very long fatal error message which include Zend Mail issues.

I also tried sending through my comcast.net account but got a similar error.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

so the site as a whole isn't sending email? You've tried the forgot password link with similar results?

can you try just doing a php mail command and see if that works?

are you sending to the same domain you're on, and have mx records hosted elsewhere? we have that bite us all the time.. your server assumes it is also the MX record when it is not...

if all that doesnt help i think its a webhost question

Thanks for the reply.

I'll try the forget password test.

I'm not familiar with the php mail command or how to do that.

I am sending to a different domain.

I'm now trying the code provided here:

No luck so far. I'll start with the password test. Thanks.

Quick question before I do it...

If I reset my password but am unable to receive the email, won't that lock me out of my site? :)

Not necessarily. You could dig into the database and find the log for the emails sent by the system.

Here's the query you'd need to run to find the email in the DB:

SELECT * FROM Logs WHERE logType = 'sent_emails'
