I am building a webpage with a contact form that sends an email to me via the Mail() php function.
I can send/receive emails fine via Roundcube, but none are sent via this method.
Here is my script:
contact page:
Code:
<form action="mail_handler.php" method="post" class="col s12">
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s6">
<input id="name" type="text" class="validate">
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s6">
<input id="email" type="email" class="validate">
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
</div>
<div class="input-field col s6">
<input id="telephone" type="tel" class="validate">
<label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s12">
<textarea id="message" class="materialize-textarea"></textarea>
<label for="message">Breif description of work to be done.</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s6">
<select>
<option value="" disabled selected>Choose the best way to contact you</option>
<option value="email">Email</option>
<option value="telephone">Telephone</option>
</select>
<label>Best Contact Method</label>
</div>
<div class="input-field col s6">
<button class="btn waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" name="action">Submit
<i class="material-icons right">send</i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
php page:
Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "myemailishere"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$name = $_POST['name'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$contactmethod = $_POST['contactmethod'];
$subject = "Form submission";
$subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
$message = $name . " wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$telephone,$contactmethod,$headers);
mail($from,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $name . ", we will contact you shortly.";
// You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.
// You cannot use header and echo together. It's one or the other.
}
?>
Any ideas? I'm not receiving any emails whether I specify the 'to' email as my personal email (hosted on protomail) or an email I have on round cube.
If you send to mail@domain.com while domain.com setup in sentora it will likely send the email to local server.
Also can you test sending to gmail.com?

Went ahead and tried sending to gmail, still no dice
can you check postfix queue to see where the file ended?
Also sending email that way can cause issues. As the sender may some time authorize few smtp servers to send on his behalf using SPF. Best is setting FROM as sever@domain.com.

I'll check the postfix queue here in a sec. I've changed the php to the below quoted code, but still no dice.
Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "email@domain.com (not hosted on same server)";
$to2 = $_POST['email'];
$from = "email@domain.com (hosted on same server)";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$contactmethod = $_POST['contactmethod'];
$subject = "Form submission";
$subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
$message = $name . " wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$telephone,$email, $contactmethod,$headers);
mail($to2,$subject2,$message2);
echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $name . ", we will contact you shortly.";
}
?>
Alright. I checked the postfix queue and I think that I've found the problem.
It looks like than an old domain name (that I no longer use or have) is configured somehow (see code below).
How would I remedy this?

May be check postfix conf file if it's the default setup here.

I checked the config, and everything looks fine there. I rebooted the server, cleared the mail queue, and tried a few more times. The # of emails in the mail queue isn't increasing from 0 now.
edit: Thank you so much for your help by the way! I really appreciate it
Anyone else have any more ideas? I can't seem to find what's the problem
Still again the problem? Seem you said it was solved?
