[4.2] How to debug forms that send e-mails?

Thursday 05 May 2011 2:59:16 pm

I have eZ Publish 4.2 on one server, I have to move it to another server. I copied everything and it works except for the contact form that needs to send an e-mail.

The only thing that does not happen is sending the e-mail. When I submit the form the data ends up in the database and I can access it through the admin interface... but the form doesn't send the mail :S

How to debug this thing? I have checked the server logs and the ez error logs but no errors show up.

I am sending mail through php mail, I am not using SMTP. I have already tested if php mail works correctly with a standalone script and that works fine.

Thanks Greg! Awesome you responded that quickly!

So I changed the transort to file and the mail is logged correctly. So far so good. I use the default transport setting again and test with the DebugRedirection. The mail doesn't get send and I do not see an error on the redirect page...

It's difficult to find which classes this information collection module uses to send out the mail. If I could find out which steps it goes through I can manually debug.
