Hello! All is great, bravo!!!!! Doing my very best not to spoil it)...
For some reason do not receive emails from the quickcontact form. Haven't tried other forms yet, although I have in mind using the job.php as well on another page... PHPmail works on my server no problem. After submiting, the form turnes lighter and the Loader sign runs around and no other sign of activity and no emails received. Please look at it: https://fmc-expert.com
Thanks in advance for your great job and support!
Not receiving emails from the Form
19 replies · opened Feb 12, 2018
Hello, as I see You are pretty busy!?
Just got a responce from my provider, stating the following:
We checked the functionality of the php (mail) function with a test script.
As a result, I successfully received a letter from your site to the box specified by us.
The result of sending and receiving emails:
2018-02-17 16:41:57 1en2kX-0003ec-NO <= webmaster@fmc-expert.com U = user2042970 P = local S = 508
2018-02-17 16:42:00 1en2kX-0003ec-NO => alexander.andreenko@activecloud.com R = dnslookup T = remote_smtp H = mx1.activeby.net [178.159.250.30] X = TLSv1: AES256-SHA: 256
2018-02-17 16:42:00 1en2kX-0003ec-NO Completed
We recommend that you contact the Web developers.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!
Have tried the SMTP, as you suggested, it didn't work either. Asked my provider about the SMTP settings, the respond is this:
Limitations on virtual/shared hosting servers
Outbound connections through external SMTP connections are closed to all users. You can use the php mail function to send e-mail messages.
Are there any chances to use your forms for me?
This is the second Canvas I purchased from you. It didn't work with the first one either, but at that time I had to do things faster and therefore bought the form script from another developer. I really like your product but forgot, that there were problems with the form... Actually, I prefered to think that I was in good hands and any problem can be solved with your assistance...
Still have some hope and look very much forward, as I've been having plans and announced of inviting visitors already... in 3 days!!!..

Hello,
We Really Apologize about the Delays in replying to your Query.
We have checked out your Page and there appears to be some Issues with your Servers since the include/sendemail.php File returns a 500 Internal Server Error. The PHP mail() Function appears to be working fine, however it appears that the Server is not handling some function properly causing this error. It is highly recommended to check the Server Error Logs so that we can provide you with proper solution for this. Thanks for your Patience.
Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
Hello, thanks for your efforts.
Have just received a responce from my server support:
In the log we do not observe errors.
Note that the logs are accessible to you via the FTP protocol: ~ / logs / fmc-expert.com.error.log
For our part, when filling out the form, there is no error, the form probably took the data and possibly processes it infinitely.
Your developer noted that:
The PHP mail () Function appears to be working fine
However, it is not entirely clear what the developer means by the phrase:
however it appears that the server is not handling some function.
We suggest that the developer checks this particular script and its operability, including the output of errors.
If there are errors during the output, then it will be necessary to eliminate them.
As we understand - the problem is not in sending a message from the site, but in the script itself, which receives data entered by the user.
We also recommend that you specify the version of php from the developer, with which all the scripts of this template will work correctly.
Also, familiarize the developer with the limitations that apply to virtual hosting servers:
https://www.active.by/en-by/tech/hosting-faq/ogranicheniya-deystvuyushchie-na-serverakh-virtualnogo-khostinga/
Particular attention should be paid to the following limetations:
PHP memory limit - 128 MB.
The maximum execution time of the PHP script (max_execution_time) is 30 seconds.
Thanks in advance for your time and help
Sincerely
Hello,
Thanks for your Patience!
Please follow the steps below:
Navigate to the Page where your contact form is.
Try to Submit the Form, then you will see that the Loaders keeps going and going.
Open the Developer Console on your Browser and you will see a 500 Internal Server Error message for the include/sendemail.php File.
This message says that something is not working on your Servers. Since you are already mentioned that the PHP mail() Function is working, the the File upload is not working properly or blocked by your Hosting Providers.
Your Hosting company says:
For our part, when filling out the form, there is no error, the form probably took the data and possibly processes it infinitely.
We use the Latest Version of PHPMailer and there is no reason to process the Form infinitely. You can check the codes. PHPMailer 6.0 requires PHP 5.5 or later, so please make sure that your PHP is upgraded.
Hope this Helps!
Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
Hello, here is a new comment from my provider:
Note that the phpmail function performs correctly on the virtual hosting server and is not blocked from our side.
Also in your account there are other sites, among which, for example http://btenova.com/contact-en.html, where the feedback form works correctly.
We recommend that developers of your site check in more detail the work of php-scripts of the site fmc-expert.com
Error 500 can occur if you exceed the limits, set on our server, namely:
PHP memory limit - 128 MB
max_execution_time 30
For your site you have an installed version of php55, but you can change it, if necessary, to php56 or php70 in the ISP panel in the section "Changing the version of PHP."
As they so rightly reffered to, I have several sites hosted at this very server and none of the forms have problems with sending mail. The mentioned by them template (for the http://btenova.com/en.html), by the way, has also been purchased on Envato - it is Porto, if you are familia with it... Had none of such problem with it!
Have you checked if any of my server's limits can influence the results? What about these two, are they ok with you:
PHP memory limit - 128 MB
max_execution_time 30
Here is again the link to the other limits:
https://www.active.by/ru-by/tech/hosting-faq/ogranicheniya-deystvuyushchie-na-serverakh-virtualnogo-khostinga/
Hope that GoogleTranslate can assist in understanding what it says there!?
Thanks in advance for taking an extra attempt to solve the problem.
Sincerely,
Hello,
Thanks for your Patience!
Can you please provide us with your FTP Access so that we can try checking this in more details.
Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
Hello,
Here is the FTP access (attached file). Please, let me know if you need anything else.
I'm still holding out hope and have total faith in you!
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Thanks for your Absolute Patience! We have worked on this and tried every combination but the PHP mail() function is not getting initialized. We are using the unmodified version of the PHPMailer and the PHP itself is giving this message. Simply try submitting your Form now: https://fmc-expert.com/contact.html . Also, consider showing this to your Hosting Server Provider as everything is clear here. Thanks for your Patience.
Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
Hello,
I have followed your suggestion and forwarded your message to my provider. Here is their comment:
We checked sending mail from your site using the script mail.php, located at the root of your site and available at the link http://fmc-expert.com/mail.php
When sending, the error log does not occur:
2018-03-05 08:26:43 1esie3-0002nq-RY <= mail@borisenkoe.com U=user2042970 P=local S=489
2018-03-05 08:26:44 1esie3-0002nq-RY => web-xfd7n@mail-tester.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=mail-tester.com [94.23.206.89] X=UNKNOWN:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:256
2018-03-05 08:26:44 1esie3-0002nq-RY Completed
The information about the sent letter is available at the following link: https://www.mail-tester.com/web-xfd7n
The errors you have mentioned are not related to the hosting settings, because the phpmail function for your site works correctly, which is also indicated by the checks we performed.
Vicious circle...
Look very much forward to your comments.
Sincerely,
Hi again,
Have thrown into the root of my site a "contact.php" (https://fmc-expert.com/contact.php) file with the "j-folder" catalogue to accompany it and this third party form worked perfectly immediately!
Will it help to figure out the problem with your script, if any?
Best regards
Hello,
Thank You so much for your Continued Patience on this!
We have run more test and now the Contact Form is returning this Error Message:
Mailer Error: Could not execute: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f mail@borisenkoe.comCan you please check if by any chance the PHPMailer has been block on your Servers? Thanks for your Patience.
Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
Hello,
According to the provider, they had some incident today but the maintanance works lasted just for a few minuts. Sorry if you happened to run your tests during those minuts. Anyway, the test php mail from the root of my site comes through since then without any problem.
Just for your information, I have replaced the previous e-mail address (mail@borisenkoe.com) with the new one: admin@fmc-expert.com as the sender of messages from the site. It didn't make any differense, seems, but will leave it this way from now.
Still have a strong believe that you will invent something!)
Kind regards,
Hello,
Thank You so much for your Continued Patience! We have run several tests on your Website and the PHPMailer codes and the issue is that your Servers do not support PHPMailer 6 and above at the moment. So please replace all the PHPMailer related files and the Form related PHP Files in the HTML/include Folder with the files in this Folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zkxqhacufn66yq/include.zip?dl=1 .
This should definitely fix your issue. Hope this Helps!
Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
Hello,
Thanks for your hard work.
I have replaced, hopefully, all you advised. Unfortunately, the form is still not working - returns an Error message now (enclosed). The current version of PHP is php55. The php54, php56 and php70 are also available and I can switch to one of these, if this can help. Please advise, what else should/can be done...
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the troubles.
Hello,
My issue is not resolved. Let me know if you have given up on providing your support on it.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Apologies about the Delays!
We have checked your Scripts again and the Server still returns: Could not Instantiate Mail Function .
Please consider following this troubleshooting guide: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting#could-not-instantiate-mail-function . Thanks for your Patience.
Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
Thanks a lot for your prompt reaction!
I contacted my provider and they gave the following response:
As far as we can see from the server's work log, the feedback form tries to send a message not from the site owner's address admin@fmc-expert.com, but from the address of the form indicated in the E-MAIL field.
Since when filling out the form with fictitious data and trying to send a message, we see the following error in the server sending server:
2018-04-13 22:00:14 1f73vi-0006ZL-PZ F=<test@test.com> rejected by non-SMTP ACL: REJECTED - Sender Verify Failed [test@test.com]
2018-04-13 22:00:14 1f73vi-0006ZN-Pn F=<> rejected by non-SMTP ACL: REJECTED - Sender Verify Failed []
2018-04-13 22:00:14 1f73vi-0006ZN-Pn Error while reading message with no usable sender address (R=1f73vi-0006ZL-PZ): rejected by non-SMTP ACL: REJECTED - Sender Verify Failed []
2018-04-13 22:00:14 1f73vi-0006ZL-PZ Child mail process returned status 1
But if you specify admin@fmc-expert.com in this field, the email is sent successfully.
This is indicated by a message on the form page and information from the log:
2018-04-13 22:07:03 1f742J-0006tx-O0 <= admin@fmc-expert.com U=user2042970 P=local S=15193 id=9336571e3a9c6df6677f166c521ca8e2@fmc-expert.com
2018-04-13 22:07:06 1f742J-0006tx-O0 => admin@fmc-expert.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=mxs.activeby.net [31.193.195.48] X=TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256
2018-04-13 22:07:06 1f742J-0006tx-O0 Completed
In this case, we recommend that you contact your developers to correct the feedback form by telling them about this error.
If you have any additional questions or need our help again, please contact us.
Please, comment and let me know if you can do the required to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for your time and support.
Hello,
We tried using no-reply@fmc-expert.com as the From: Field, however, it still did not work but changing it to admin@fmc-expert.com worked. So we guess adding a non-existent Email Address will not work. We have updated the include/sendemail.php File on your Servers and this issue is now fixed. We would recommend you to create a New Email Address no-reply@fmc-expert.com and change it in the include/sendemail.php File.
Hope this Helps! Thanks for all your Patience!
