PHP email form stopped working, please help me fix it !

If you have linux hosting with shell access you can check sendmail directly. First log into your account with ssh then:

 

 

Step 3
Send an email in the terminal using the sendmail command. Sendmail needs a valid, working email address and a short message. A subject for your email is optional. Type "sendmail [email protected]" and press the "Enter" key.

Step 4
Type a short one-line message and press the "Enter" key. Press "Ctrl-D." The command prompt should appear. Check your email inbox to see if the message was delivered. If the test email does not show up after a few minutes, Sendmail is either not working or not working properly.

or try the mail command

Yep, david is right,  since you have a ssh access to this account, login into your terminal and try to call sendmail directly from the shell. Try, again to send me an email with a message od current date/time. The command is:

echo `date` | /usr/sbin/sendmail [email protected]


// or 

echo `date` | sendmail [email protected]

thanks guys but with my current plan I do not think I have access to the SSH manager, I've tried the script that isn't working with 2 other hosts and it works fine, but my current host keeps ignoring the facts and telling me to fix the script. I might just switch hosting company.

To ads1:

Do you realize that this is a 4 year old topic???  Please don't resurrect old stuff just because you saw it during your first look at the forum.

Welcome to the group though!

^^^ that's because it is a non-specific post just to get the link to show up on this site, to increase the google ad back-links.

And what happened to "ads1" post?

I removed it (and Ads1) for spamming the site.
