solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 is it possible to post your code so we can check the problem? But first check your spam mail box.

php1 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 <?php mail("[email protected]","testsub","testmessage"); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130546-problem-with-sending-mail/#findComment-677256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok if you want to use the "testsub" and "testmessage" as variables you should use the $ sign! If its just text then it looks ok to me! Check if you can get emails in general on that account because the problem might be with the gmail servers!

solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 if you can use the internet i dont think that there are any additional configuration to do! The only thing i would think that might be wrong is the email provider! Check the email account you are using if it gets any other emails from another account! If you have inbox mails from others, then the last thing is your hosting server!

solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 you can create a free email account like (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc) and use that one instead of the one you are using now to check if its a problem with the email account or the server that you host your website on! Example: <?php mail("[email protected]","testsub","testmessage"); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130546-problem-with-sending-mail/#findComment-677282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
everisk Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your email might be blocked by the email provider (such as Hotmail, Gmail, or etc). This can happen if you send bulk mailing.

php1 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 i am testing from local server. It is not blocked because it is working fine till yesterday. I also tried with other address like [email protected]. but it is also not working? any other changes in php.ini. or http.conf has to be made. whether it is not working because of any configuration changes Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130546-problem-with-sending-mail/#findComment-677294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 You cannot send an email from a local server! The reason is that there is no SMTP server on your computer! In order to check it you have to upload it online!

solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The problem in this case is that the email provider might have blocked the emails sent from your computer to your company email account! You should try and contact them to let them know about the problem!

solon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 You may be able tp request a "recieved notification" and if you dont received it back then generate the error! Although i have no idea how and if this is possible! You can search in google or create a new thread in this forum and if someone knows something you ll get there!
