    Default Can't send/receive emails from the the Contact US page?

    I cant send emails from the contact page.

    People get their emails from orders etc, but from my contact us page, no one gets an email.
    Where do I look to debug this?
    I did try changing the DEBUG to level 4 in functions_email.php but I did not see any output.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    If there is no Store Owner Email Address set, or if you've set values in the Contact-Us Pulldown field but not followed the prescribed pattern, then it cannot send the emails because there is no valid address to which to send.

    I was able to do more homework based some of the words you used in your message.
    I set up Email Achieve and this is what I got from the first message.
    I changed the domain names, but the domains were what I had expected.

    So ... since the email is showing in the Archive, that means Zen Cart successfully prepared and sent the email, successfully delivering it to the mailserver engine for routing.
    Whatever happens after that is up to the mailservers, and is outside the control of Zen Cart.

    As explained in the following articles, sometimes switching to "sendmail -f" or SMTPAUTH may help work around the problem if it's because the server is rejecting the email because it's sent from an unauthenticated PHP script.
    http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Of_Lost_Emails
    http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Email_Problems

    Additionally, it's not uncommon for internal mail routing problems to occur within a network. And, since your server could conceivably be sending from itself ... back *to* itself ... it may very well be dumping the messages into a black hole because it sees that as spammy. Using an external destination email address by entering it into the Contact-Us Pulldown (in prescribed format) may help get around that problem.

    We are having similar issue. Emails are received if I send it via Tools > Send Mail feature. It comes through, but not via contact us email. Neither do I receive any admin emails showing any new customer or contacts who signed on to my site. I have all the settings / Value in place as mentioned above. But no luck.

    Any suggestion and help would be greatly appreciated.

    I found the solution to my own problem. I did the following:
    1. Sign in as Administrator
    2. Go to Configuration > Email Options
    3. Enter smtpauth for E-Mail Transport Method
    4. In Set "Contact Us" Email Dropdown List - Add the email in following format: Information<[email protected]>;


    This did the trick for me.

    I am still stuck on this problem.
    When I use smtpauth I see zen-cart trying to connect to my email server on 25 to try to send an email.
    When I use smtp I didn't see any traffic attempting to send an email to mail server.
    Both email server and zencart are on the same network and can ping each other.
    I am only using the IP address for the mail server. (my setting are above).

    Interesting that I set up postfix on the zencart server to try to make it the local smtp server. Well it was interesting to see that the smtp option sent the email but the senders email address for the TO: address and the FROM: address was the subject line. In the email was the "Office only" data as well.

    Does any of this look familiar?

    I needed the less than and greater symbols. <[email protected]>
    How did I miss that right there in front of me was the example.

    Thanks all is good now.
