Strange email problem - Contact Us problems
It is to do with the Contact us. And yes I have searched the forums, used all the fixes that were listed in different threads. And nothing here is the issues
If I used my *@fogboundworkshop.co.uk nothing comes through to that emails
this is info@, admin@ and so on. Yes I created them on the server.
Now if I change that to any other email I have the mails come through no problem.
Now I send from the Admin>tools>send email
that works just fine. if it is going to anything else but @fogboundworkshop.co.uk
To say the lease it is driving me nuts. Any ideas would truly be appreciated.

Re: Strange email problem.
Are you receiving any mail on that domain?
Re: Strange email problem.
Yes I am, no problems there. That is why I find this very odd.
Re: Strange email problem.

Nope have not changed a thing, I do not host it.

Re: Strange email problem - Contact Us problems
Yes I have gone over the wiki for this as well. I really think it is something to do with the host. IF I change all the email addresses to my other emails I have it works no problem. Click Contact us and zip it is sending. But just here, and that is really anoying becuase this is the main address for the business.
Re: Strange email problem - Contact Us problems
It's not uncommon for server configurations to not be fully set up to handle sending email to themselves ... because many hosts don't expect the server to be doing that. It's usually out or in, not back to itself.
Some servers have filters set up to just dump email that comes from itself. Some don't know how to handle (or don't like) mail coming from localhost.
You may have to talk to your hosting company for some assistance.
The contact-us emails are set up to sent TO your specified address, and "simulate" coming FROM your customer's email address ... even though it's *actually* coming from your own server. This is where it gets tricky and often dumped into a black hole.
But, as soon as you change the coding to no longer send "from" the customer's address, you'll be complaining that you can't just click "reply" and send to the customer without fixing the email address first.
Re: Strange email problem - Contact Us problems
Ok, thanks DrByte & Fuzion. I will use one of my other addresses for now. And also the email archive.
Again thanks for you time.
