Hi, I have a contact.php which i tested on the other website which is hosted by other company and it works fine. But when i am using it on the other website which i am hosting it by myself it is not working! Is it any configuration on my Apache servre which i need to do to make this page working? Your help is appreciated. Thanks Golan The Contact file is: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <? Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) { if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') { $pre_array=split ("&777&", $request); $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0]; $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1]; } next($_REQUEST); } reset($post_vars); $subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ; $headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n"; $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'; $message=''; while ($mess = current($post_vars)) { if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your_email") && (key($post_vars)!="your_name")) { $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong> ".$mess[0]."<br>"; } next($post_vars); } mail("[email protected]", $subject, " <html> <head> <title>Contact letter</title> </head> <body> <br> ".$message." </body> </html>" , $headers); echo ("Your message was successfully sent!"); ?> <script> resizeTo(300, 300); </script>
Have a look at your mail log file which i in the directoyr /var/log/ and post the line that got added to this file when you send a email with the above php script.
Hi Till, Here is the lines: Jun 21 14:38:24 localhost postfix/pickup[11260]: EF7B3BB0072: uid=48 from=<apache> Jun 21 14:38:25 localhost postfix/cleanup[13184]: EF7B3BB0072: message-id=<[email protected]> Jun 21 14:38:25 localhost postfix/qmgr[25099]: EF7B3BB0072: from=<[email protected]>, size=424, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 21 14:38:26 localhost postfix/smtp[13186]: EF7B3BB0072: to=<[email protected]>, relay=f.mx.mail.yahoo.com[209.191.88.247]:25, delay=1.3, delays=0.08/0.2/0.75/0.27, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok dirdel) Jun 21 14:38:26 localhost postfix/qmgr[25099]: EF7B3BB0072: removed
Ok, this means your script and server is working fine and the email has been sent to the yahoo account. I guess that yahoo has deleted your email as it was sent from the sender address "[email protected]". You should check that you have set a valid hostname for your server.
In regard to this issue when i am sending to my email address at xxxx@mydomainname it works prefect. Thanks

You need to set a proper hostname in your Postfix configuration: Code: postconf -e 'myorigin = my.hostname.tld' /etc/init.d/postfix restart If you are not sure what hostname to use, you can look up a hostname using the server's public IP address: Code: dig -x 1.2.3.4 where 1.2.3.4 must be replaced with the server's real public IP address.
Dear Falko, Below is the result of the dig command. But i have a question. if i buy a domain name as mydomain.com and ask the registrar for name servers as ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com then how can i set my server with these addresses?

Hi Till, I believe i need to explain my question a little more: I have a sever which i would like to use it as a web server and host websites. whenever i register a domain they asked me about the name servers which i dont have and instead i give them my web server ip. And it works but has problem as i described at my first post. So to resolve this issue which i explained at my first post do i need to have a name server? And i have a domain like www.mydomin.com which point to my web server ip address and if ask my registrar for the name servers such as ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com which points to my web server ip address: Now if i want to rigister a new domain and hosted on my server can i give this two name servers instead the web server ip address (which are same) to the registrar? Thanks Golan
I guess what you need is a technical domain. That means a domain that points to your server IP with 2 A-Records, e.g. ns1 yourserver.com and ns2.yourserver.com, but the dns for this domain is not hosted on your server. You can either achieve this by using managed DNS for one of your domains from your domain registrar or you use a domain from e.g. dyndns or noip to point to your server.
