What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:
...email,emails,not recieving emails,
Write your message below:

I've done the script changes on all the posts having to do with not recieving an Email,re-loaded a clean gbook.php after each attempt,but still can't recieve one. Everything else works....! Wonderfully....! I even went as far as bringing all my posts from my original "Off Site" book into this one. (locally). I've made sure I uploaded in ASCII, and if I read right from my server,my php is "email enabled". I think..I'm sure you'll tell me if I'm wrong...

Hi,

I can't be of much help when sending e-mails doesn't work. The reason is all my scripts, including GBook, use standard PHP mail() command and if that doesn't work then the problem is locally (on the server).

I suggest you contact your host and ask the following:

1. is PHP mail() function enabled and configured properly?

2. does the server allow sending e-mails from user "Nobody" (PHP and CGI scripts usually run as "Nobody")

3. are there any other restrictions with sending e-mails from PHP, like sending to local domains only?


See what you find out. Here are a few more things to try:

1. some servers don't allow sending e-mails to third party domains. Have you tested with setting admin mail to something@afbawindgap.org ?

2. Do you have any other PHP scritps on yoru server that successfully send mail? If yes:
a) try with the same e-mail addresses
b) post a link to the scripts here

3. Just a thought - check inside your Spam/Junk folder and make sure you don't have any Spam filters blocking Hesk mails.
