Hello, thanks for reading and any help you may have.

I have a running wordpress installation but for some reason with every Custom Contact Us form the email never makes it to my email account associated with it. I have tried to use the Wordpress email version and setting it up through SMTP.

The php end of it is successful and gives a success message with each different plugin I have tried but for whatever reason the actual contact email simply never makes it through.

Any ideas on why this isnt working?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.

It won't work to use an SMTP server (like smtp.domain.com) because the hosting firewall blocks connections to external SMTP servers. You may be able to use 'localhost' as the SMTP server though.

For assistance with the PHP mail function not working correctly, you should either call our Support Center (1-866-391-4357 in the USA or Canada, +1-570-708-8788 for International) or open an Online Service Request at https://www.networksolutions.com/help/email.jsp.

I opened a support ticket and network solutions requested I buy mytime support package after renewing everything for 5 years. This isn't going to happen and I probably wouldn't have spent the time carefully describing the problem, when more than likely this is a simple issue of permissions using the email through the site. The prices of support for such far outweigh the issue and Ill find another way. One would think that back dooring the way in to a support package wouldn't exist for something this small after a large purchase but i guess that is the nature of the times.

Hi GoBlue171
Did you get an answer to this? I have the same problem and got the same response when I opened a ticket. If I can't get a simple answer to something so dumb stupid as sending an SMTP message I'll be spending my money elsewhere.
Thanks.

If you are using the php mail function and messages are not going through to an nsMail mailbox, a support reperesentative can run a test to replicate this issue if you call or open a ticket. If you are trying to send using something like smtp.domain.com, it won't work, because the hosting firewall won't allow the conection. The only thing that will work for an SMTP server is localhost, port 25, no authentication. If you are trying to send to a non-Network Solutions mailbox, we don't have any control over filtering.

Server functionality (PHP mail() function sending to our mailboxes) is covered by regular support. Troubleshooting a specific plugin or custom code is not.-

I just did a test on both of your hosting packages. I was able to send mail using the php mail function and the php PEAR mail library without issue using a test script. Both of your packages have the ability to send mail via PHP.
