are your mail server working??

[Q1712]

r u getting any errors?

try to put error_reporting(E_ALL) in there as first line of ur php-code.

what server r u using?

Tried turning errors on but all i get is the “there was an error…” i set up if !$mailsent. Using a Linux server, the mail server is configured to work only for local addresses.

[Q1712]

do u have access to the logs of ur mailtransport agent?

No unfortunately. So the problem is most likely with the mail server? thanks for your help!
