How do I troubleshoot lack of emial

I've used UE in the past without incident, but I'm having trouble with this particular site. Created the form and added UE several times. Appears to work properly and go to my thank you page, but never received the email. Tried multiple addresses, checked junk filters, etc but nothing.

Found on another thread to insert the following code on thank you page:
<?php
@session_start();
var_dump($_SESSION);
?>

Did so. In the lengthy return after sending I do find ["waue_test_2_Log"]=> string(52) "Sending To: test@icmproducts.com... - Failure

I assume that is showing me the failure to send the email, but how do I troubleshoot from here to track down the problem?

The forms can be accessed at the following addresses:
index.php
test.php

Here's the full return from the string above:

can you send a copy of the test.php page so i can take a look at the code. also the webassist/email folder would help.

See attached for requested files. Thanks!

it looks like the the SMTP Server and Port are left blank in the universal email settings, in many cases this can work, it will just use the php.ini settings instead, but I dont think this will work for you.

Who is your hosting account with? You should check wit them to see if they support sending emails a php script and the php mail() function. also double check wit them what SMTP server to use, and port number.

Hi,

is your hosting provider godaddy by any chance because I've been chasing this problem all day and emails are coming in very slowly with occasionally earlier mails arriving after recent ones (if that makes sense) average time 3/4 hour with smtp server details added to UE

Host is Brinkster.com. I've used this script with them before, and indeed use it on another site without incidence.

in the webassist/mail/mail_php.php file, find the following code:

if ($mailObj)  {

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Status"] = "Success";

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Log"] .=  "Success <br>\n";

        }

        else  {

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Status"] = "Failure";

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Log"] .=  ( (isset($_SESSION[$mailRef."_Error"])) ? $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Error"] : "" ). " - Failure <br>\n";

        }

and change it to:

if ($mailObj)  {

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Status"] = "Success";

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Log"] .=  "Success <br>\n";

        }

        else  {

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Status"] = "Failure";

            $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Log"] .=  ( (isset($_SESSION[$mailRef."_Error"])) ? $_SESSION[$mailRef."_Error"] : "" ). " - Failure <br>\n";

        }

                echo($mailTo." - ".$_SESSION[$mailRef."_Status"]."<br />");

this will write the to address to the screen and the status of sending the message to the SMTP server.

If the status is success, then message has been sent to the smtp server to be relayed.

if the mail is not coming through, then you will need to contact the host to have them look into the SMTP server error logs to see why the SMTP server is not relaying the message.

Thanks Jason. I will do that but in the mean time this may shed some more light on the situation. The host tech support wasn't much help but kept pointing me to their own phpmailer script and from the looks of that this is what I've gathered:

SMTP server is mymail.brinkster.com
It requires SMTP authorization with a username and password.

well if the smtp server requires authentication, then you need to use the Pear Mail For SMTP server mail object in Universal Email.

the regular mail object does not allow for passing a username and password.

This is what the page returned when I changed the script you cited...

justing@advent-design.com - Failure

Are there instructions for how to use "Pear Mail" somewhere?
