Question
Email not working
- Posted August 14, 2013
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?

I install sendmail. <br>Then i try the contact form. Now its worse, the after i click Submit the page keeps loading, until the page is not available.
i did’nt see any errors.but
import smtplib server = smtplib.SMTP(“smtp.gmail.com”,587) is not working
Do you see any errors? <br> <br>Add these lines to wp-config.php: <br> <br><pre>@ini_set(‘log_errors’,‘Off’); <br>@ini_set(‘display_errors’,‘On’); <br>@ini_set(‘error_reporting’, E_ALL ); <br>define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); <br>define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, false); <br>define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true);</pre> <br> <br>and try sending an email – it should output the error if any. <br> <br>Make sure you delete the lines you added once you’re done.
<b>“My wordpress sites are working fine, except email is not sent from the Wordpress.”</b> <br> <br>The solution from this thread => <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/wordpress-email-notifications”>WordPress email notifications</a> worked for me.
Do you have an MTA installed? <pre>sudo apt-get install sendmail</pre>
