I'm new to eZp 3.5.1, installed and working on linux. System is running qmail with localhost/127.0.0.1 defined as a valid relay client. "dig localhost" resolves properly.

Problem: emails send from my "Contact Us" page go nowhere. I don't know where to look for errors. I've tried reconfiguring between SMTP and sendmail thinking one would work. No dice.

Recipient email to my domain appears to be defined correctly in the INI files.

How do I find what eZp thinks it is doing with the outgoing email? Help appreciated!

Hi Dave,

Try to enable DebugOutput in site.ini.append.php file.

[DebugSettings]
DebugOutput=enabled

For your SMTP configuration add TransportUser and TransportPassword. Usually in settings/override/site.ini.append.php Sometimes SMTP server requires authorization.

I hope it will help.

Does eZ support SMTP authorization?
If is, is it configurable somewhere? Or transparent?

Thanks,
Piotrek

Thanks Bruce!

Also, that trunk patch for 4.0.0 helps ;)

Cheers!
