Notification Emails not Sent

  1. Hi,

    I am trying to set up a basic contact form on my website [ http://beautifulpixels.com/contact/ ] and while testing it, I noticed that even though entries are logged in the database, I do not receive any notification emails.

    Now, I've tried all the different possibilites mentioned in the support forum here.

    - I've tried changing the To: field to different adresses, even that belong to different providers.
    - I've tried using the Routing option instead.
    - I figured it was the wp_mail() function that was at fault, so I installed the recommended WP Mail SMTP plugin and configured it. While it is able to send test messaged just fine, if I use the form to submit an entry, it doesn't work.

    Is there a secret switch that I'm not aware of here?

    Thanks.

  2. So, as I'm sure you've read already since you've clearly done your diligent research here on this topic. We do pass this function off to wp_mail(). So, usually at this point it is a configuration issue at the host level. Who is your host by the way?

    One thing I could have you try is - if you setup a new user in WordPress, does the new user email get sent out to the email you are testing out with?

  3. Interesting, it didn't occur to me to try that. I just created a new user, using the username+tempstring@beautifulpixels.com and got the password sent to this email adress promptly and correctly using the SMTP account I have set in the WP Mail SMTP plugin.

    I'm hosted at http://vps.net

    Thanks.

  4. Hey guys, any updates on this? The SMTP plugin works fine, as new user account notifications and emails for some test plugins I installed work fine. It's just the Gravity Forms notification emails that aren't being sent at all.

  5. Can you export one of your forms in question and email it to me: rob@rocketgenius.com and reference this post in your email.

  6. I'm having the same problem... Gravity Forms emails are not being sent. And all programs that rely on it are not being sent.

  7. Kelly, have you already installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin to get more email delivery?
