Using a Website Contact Form

bici

I have setup a contact form on a website, using the Expression Engine CMS. All my settings work in sending a test email from the CP. So it seems all the SMTP settings etc are fine. The recipient email is one I have with Opalstack. On the website using the contact form if I use an external email such as gmail or apple, the emails never arrive. If I use another email hosted at opalstack they get sent and received. What would cause this? One error I see is

Warning
fwrite(): SSL: Connection reset by peer
ee/legacy/libraries/Email.php, line 1852

that line has:
if (! fwrite($this->_smtp_connect, $data . $this->newline)) {
can't tell if this is opalstack issue or the cms form?

bici please ensure that your contact form emails use your own domain in the "From" address and the form submitter's email address as the "Reply-To" address. Sending with the submitter as the "From" address won't work because of DMARC restrictions on the submitters' domains.

Ok that is not an option. It was suggested that I use something like mailjet. That service wants a DNS a creation of a TXT record with the following value: Host: mailjet.66a6666f example.com_ and Value: 77a7768f10f708b

But when I try and add a DNS record I can only add the first part there are no additional fields for Value. For the first content field I am assuming that adding mailjet._66a6666f has the rest appended to it. Or it could be that I am not doing it correctly

bici You must add the entire CNAME hostname "mailjet.66a6666f .yourdomain.com" (replace yourdomain.com with your own domain) as a domain and then add the DNS record to that. More info is available at: https://docs.opalstack.com/user-guide/domains/#adding-dns-records-manually
