Hello,

I received the following question via email. Would you know what could be the problem?

Thank you.

Kristina

The Contact Us form does not send emails though:

  • SMTP has been set up and works according to the user
  • a valid email address is in config.php for $cfg->sendallemailto

She writes that emails work but the Contact Us form.

Hi Kristina,

I don't know why someone would be sing the sendallemailto setting - this is intended for developers.

The contactus form sends notifications in the same way that any other messages are sent and are only sent to site administrators.

The desination of these Contact Us messages is set in the Notifications panel like any other message.

I can't imagine any reason why your user is not receiving the Contact Us messages, but is receiving others but I'll attempt to replicate.

Sorry, but I can't replicate this.

Since the Contact Us messages are sent using the standard notifications system, they will be sent by cron.

As your user has the sendallemailto setting in place, I'd imagine that they're doing some form of development and may not have cron running?

Hello Andrew,

Thanks you for your response. I must have had a brain freeze. :-( The only possibility then could be that she has nt set the notification to be sent via mail but just to be delivered the the inbox whereas all others are sent via mail.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers

Kristina
