Thoughts?

Ask your host whats changed ;)

So, can I take that response to mean this should be working? :p

And when I say back in the day, I mean at least 2-3 or more years ago. It hasn't been working for that long. I have checked my spam filters and the messages aren't there.

I did used to have a different email listed (blogmaster@) but then changed it to my main address (jen@) so maybe that made some type of difference? Although I'm not sure how...unless maybe the original email got stuck in code somewhere and the new email isn't taking effect?

Yes, I'm grasping at straws here...

I'm guessing that if you've lived with this problem for 2-3 years then it's a smidge on the low side of your priority scale ... worth taking a look at $admin_email in whatever /conf/ file it's in ;)

True...I think of it frequently but never seem to get here to write about it, lol.

That said, I found the email in the basic_config file (in /conf) and it WAS the old email! So I changed it and did a test send from the Contact form and still didn't get any email... :?:

Is there another place I might have to change the email that I'm missing?

bugger, it's never the easy answer :-S

can you send emails through other apps installed on the same host ... not that I'm even hinting at the remote posibiltily that you've even begun to think that there may be apps out there that do things that b2evo doesn't do ( unless it's footer spam I guess ), but, on the off chance you've stooped so low, can they send emails?

If they can and evo can't then that'd be interesting. If not then I'd be emailing my host with "what did I miss?" ... which is a completely pointless task really, since I'm my own host :S

What other apps might that be? (Why do I feel so stupid?) I don't have any other apps installed on my website or through b2evo...???

Stuff like maybe if you have wordpress or phpbb installed on your domain. Or lots of other different programs that are out there.

If you aren't running any other types of thingies you could install one and see if it can send an email when it is supposed to just to see if your server can send mails, then delete it.

I guess that's something I'll have to look into if I have the time. Maybe when my kid is three. :)

Don't be so hasty!!

wait until he's a teen at least :roll:

Once the child is old enough to reach the keyboard say "no twittering till you debug my email issue" and your problem will be resolved. A high-chair can come in handy in this case :)

HAHAHAHAHA! :lol:

For a laugh create, and upload, "giggle.php" with the following code

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 'on' );
mail( 'complaints@microsoft.com', 'Many thanks', 'MS Software reminds me that there are much lower places I could stoop' );
echo 'did yah see an error yet?';
?>

Then call giggle.php up in your browser ;)
