Parrot: PHP mail function not sending email

[annesley]

hi, am using the wordpress / PHP mail function to send registration emails in IIRS.

The system works fine on my BlueHost? server, and also on my laptop but the email does not send on Parrot.

any ideas why?

Here is the headers and code:
From: "Parrot" <annesley@…>
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

wp_mail( $email_address, $subject, $body, $all_headers );

Other sites are sending emails fine, you should be able to test that your site can send email by asking for a password reset?

I can't see any issues in the maillog, the error log for your site and I can't find the code you posted above via a recursive grep.

I created the following file at ​http://annesley.parrot.transitionnetwork.org/chris.php

<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'chris@webarchitects.co.uk';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email';
//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n
$message = "Hello World!\n\nThis is my first mail.";
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: annesley@annesley.parrot.transitionnetwork.org\r\nReply-To: chris@webarchitects.co.uk";
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

Visited it and it sent me a email and there were no issues in the maillog.

Can you check you code?

I also notice your site has the ​Disable Emails plugin installed -- could this be the cause?

Stop a WordPress website from sending any emails using the standard ​wp_mail() function. No emails will be sent, not even for password resets or administrator notifications.

I have just checked (via ​http://brakertech.com/disable-enable-wordpress-plugin-command-line/) and found that the ​Disable Emails plugin is enabled -- I expect this might be the cause?
