Hi, My wordpress sites are working fine, except email is not sent from the Wordpress. Let say i install a contact form plugin. Suppose i will get email everytime anyone contact me from the site, but i get nothing. Whats wrong?

Do you have an MTA installed? 
sudo apt-get install sendmail

"My wordpress sites are working fine, except email is not sent from the Wordpress."

The solution from this thread => WordPress email notifications worked for me.

Do you see any errors?

Add these lines to wp-config.php: 

@ini_set('log_errors','Off');

@ini_set('display_errors','On');

@ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', false);

define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);


and try sending an email -- it should output the error if any.

Make sure you delete the lines you added once you're done.
