Hi
Firstly I know little about PHP. Quite a lot about HTML and CSS, but that is not helpful right now...
I have just installed WordPress for a new blog, and I have tried several WP contact forms, and whilst all of them appear to send email, it is never received at my domain email address. I tired various different configurations etc, but no joy.
That said, every contact form delivered email to my GMail email address every time.
Why will all of these forms deliver to GMail but not my domain email address?
I contacted my hosting company, and here is their explanation:
This issue is occuring because there is a missing fifth parameter in your mail script. This has always been a requirement of mail scripts on our shared hosting platform but recent updates to our Linux servers (from PHP4 to PHP5) has meant that this is now always required.
An example of how to use this is displayed below:
mail($to, $sub, $mess, "From: root@yourdomain.co.uk", "-froot@yourdomain.co.uk");
If anyone can offer some advice to a PHP novice, it would be much appreciated.
