I have latest contact 7 form installed. It will not send any messages to my email I'm not sure what's going on. It's not going to spam either just nothing happens. I'm not sure how to fix it. Please could anyone help me with this?
Showing the green border message means that the PHP function for sending the mail has certainly completed successfully. So if you can’t receive the mail, it’s highly possible that the mail has been kidnapped or killed after that.
If you can check the log of your mail server, it could give you some clues. Spam filter often causes this kind of problem.

For many I'm sure, this is an easy fix but I've tried looking into it and to be quite honest, my knowledge of coding isn't like many of you. Having said that, I've downloaded a free template and I've been able to clean things up, make it my own except for one thing. When folks want to reach me, they add their name, number, email and message in the proper fields but when they hit "Send", I want their message and info to be sent to my email address. Can you please explain how this is done? I've attached the link so you can view.

Many thanks!

As far as i understand, first u should note that sending email needs backend management, so first you should grap all form data, then should submit a form, and finally in backend u should check submitted data and execute sending email process
Good morning,
I just finished the implementation of swiftmailer combined with Twig templates. I have sent several mails now and I encountered a strange habit.
For example:
Example
Sends me a link in the following format:
x-webdoc://AAAAAAAA-BBBB-2222-CC33-DDDDDD444444/example.com/
to my apple mail account. But when i change the value between the < a >-Tags to this
Example.com
I can open the link without any Problem. I can't understand that behaviour.
Can anyone explain this to me? Couldn't test sending mails to gmail or any other provider, since my dev environment can't yet sent mails out of it.
I hope you can help me.
Regards
My ex- colleague wrote a basic aspx contact form for one of our hotel clients before leaving, all has been fine with it (as far as i know)until a hosting issue this week. It basically just sends form details onto the hotels email address.
When sending a test mail this week I noticed that although the email was received without any issues st the hotel end - their reply to my email address was marked as spam via my macs mail filter.
I should point out that the email address i used to test the form was a yahoo address which is added to my imacs mail account, when checking yahoo itself it wasn't in the spam folder and was displayed in the inbox as suspected. - it was only highlighted as spam (yellow color)on the imac. So hopefully I'm worrying about very little!
This is a last min worry prior to going on holiday! - basically I don't understand much about mailouts - (I'm a designer who wishes he's never taken this job on!) i just wanted to confirm whether the spam issue is anything to worry about and if so whether its a problem at the hotels end or with the form?
I'm hoping that the forms done its job by getting the mail to them so either just a fussy iMac which has a problem with their reply address or something else not related to the contact form itself.. If this is the case is there any advice i can offer them of anything they can add to the reply to stop it being spammed?
If anyone could offer any quick advice to save my piece of mind prior to going away - I'd be very greatful!
Thanks
Update: following the comments below - to clarify - the contact form sends a email to the hotel with the customers question and comments - this is received without issue.
The issue appears to be when the hotel reply to the enquiry their reply spammed for me (mac only). The mx records for the email point to the previous domain and the site is hosted with us - the previous designer has control panel access for the DNs settings.
Is it possible to retrieve the SMTP response of a mail. For example, I am sending a mail to non existing email id. Surely our server will send us a mailer daemon failure mail to our mail id. I need to capture that failure mail.
How its possible? please explain me. Some time we may enter more than one non existing email id, so i have to retrieve all the failure mail alone for every corresponding emails
Please guide me!
Thanks in advance,
Praveen J
I think I understood your question correctly now. As I understand, you are writing an application to send mail. And in your application, whenever you send a mail, you also want verify that if mail was delivered and also if it was not delivered then you want to get hold of the failure message in your application. Is that how you mean?
Well, if that is how you mean, then I think it is impossible to track the mail status with your apllication code. For instance if you are using java sendMail in your apllication you can only ensure that the send happened from your code successfully(without any send exceptions like java.net.SocketException or javax.mail.MessagingException). But, you can never ensure if the mail really reached the recepient. i.e. you can never track in your application if the mail was rejected due to wrong recepient address or any other error like illegal attachment at receipient mail server or errors like blocked sender id etc.
That is because any such error condition will be communicated by the receipient mail server to the sending mail server the information of which is present in the sent mail's header.
Does that answer your question? (Or did I understand your question correctly? ;-))
I am not sure if I am getting your question right. If you send an email to any non existent address say xxx#gmail.com from your address yyy#yourhost.com, the mail server at gmail.com replies to the mail server at yourhost.com with failure message and reason, with your delivery address and you receive the fialure mail automatically. you don't have to do anything extra in this.
If you are talking about seeing mail headers, then it depends on which client you are using. For instace, if you are using MS outlook, you can right-click on the message and click options and then see internet headers section to get mail headers. If you are using some web based mail then i am sure there will some option to view detailed mail headers.
The bounced messages are going to return to a mailbox. You should be able to configure that mailbox by properly setting the headers on the messages you send out. You would then need to monitor that mailbox, or have that mailbox deliver the messages to your program.
I would suggest you consider using VERP for all messages you send out. It will make it much easier for you to identify which email address a particular bounce belongs too. To do this you would need control of your mail server though. It takes some work configuring things.
To answer the question with more detail you need to tell us how your are sending messages, what type of mail server you are running, and how much control you have over the mail server.
On Unix, you can use "procmail" for this. Procmail is a service which can intercept your mails and process them following rules.
If you can access your mail my IMAP, I suggest to look at the Python module imaplib.
Ok, get this.
I have been assigned to write an html form to be EMAILED to clients so that they can fill it in and submit it FROM THE EMAIL CLIENT! apparently emailing a link to the existing form on our website is not good enough.
I am still trying to get my head around this as it seems almost void of common sense, but anyways, my guess is that I will have no way of validating data, and if actually works, how will the user know? WTF?????
Get this, They will be emailing both a pdf and an html doc to clients, I tried putting my case forward but apparently the marketing pro's say IT IS POSSIBLE AND MUST BE DONE, WORKING BY FRIDAY!
This is not a good idea on many fronts:
Not all email clients will support a form post from HTML
see: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2435/how-forms-perform-in-html-emai/
No clientside validation
What's exactly wrong with a link?
How are you getting data from PDF form submission? You can get expensive form tools from Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/government/forms.html
Some spam / av checkers will dispose of form based emails.
There are only two possiblities: first one the mail client must have a php runtime environment to run the php script locally, also an embedded mail server - which isnt the case for the most of them. Second one is that your mail client acts like a browser and displays the form (which is located still on the internet) in his mail viewing window (which is perhaps possible but i dont know any common mail client doing this).
So you either submit a link to the form or you construct the mail this way, that there're placeholders to be filled and submitted like a normal mail response.
This idea is plainly wrong. You're creating a phishing vector for your company which could expose them to huge legal liability. Just ask them how much money they are going to be putting into the legal defense fund in order to pay out for the lawsuits they are going to lose.
An adobe pdf server is about the only reasonable method for doing this, but that takes lots of cash and work on your network to support a new type of server.
It's generally bad idea. Most email clients only allow limited HTML, with limited CSS and without any JavaScript at all.
See: http://www.sitepoint.com/code-html-email-newsletters/
Many mail clients will not allow submitting any form (at least with standard security settings).
