Mail from web forms not working.

    Hi

    I know this is a bit vague, but this may be caused by my server config. It's based on the ISP-Server Setup - Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger".

    A bit of a frustrating problem this. Web form mails from sites on my server are not working. I've just migrated all my sites to the new server to find that none of the web based contact forms are working. They used to on the previous server, a SuSE 9.2 loosely based on the how-to here.

    I've enabled -v in postfix master.cf and watch the logs with "tail -f /var/log/mail.info -n 100". But there is nothing.

    Is Postfix running?
    Do your scripts use the correct SMTP server?
    Please post the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap

    Can you post the PHP code that sends the mails?

    fixed it! I had to include "php_admin_flag register_globals on" in the sites Apache Directives.

    Some of the older php code needs to be updated on a few of the sites. Not very secure.

    Thank you for the support Falko.
