Sending email from website - ensuring it gets through...

Post by Mr Tech »

It seems sometimes when I send emails from a website (I use PHPMailer http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/), sometimes people don't get them.

Is that a script error, a web hosting configuration error, a remote email configuration error?

Is there anyway you can ensure or at least have a better chance of the emails getting through or is there nothing we can really do?

How do you test this?

If the server is linux based you can tail the /var/log/mail.log or similar file and observe why the emails are not going through.
