Contact Form eMail fails

When I upgraded to Backlight2 (from Backlight), the email send from the Contact Form is not sent.  I get the following information, but the email is not received.

to: web@photographs-now.com
subject: Test Message
message:

This is a test


headers:

From: "Photographs-Now, Inc." <info@photographs-now.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Reply-To: info@photographs-now.com

My settings are

Email Configuration



Mail Send Type      mail
SMTP Host            smtpout.secureserver.net
SMTP Username    info@photographs-now.com
SMTP Password     [ hidden ]
SMTP Port            3535
SMTP Security Protocol    none

Changing the port to 80 also does not send the email. 

If I change to smpt,

Email Configuration



Mail Send Type       smtp
SMTP Host             smtpout.secureserver.net
SMTP Username     info@photographs-now.com
SMTP Password      [ hidden ]
SMTP Port              3535
SMTP Security Protocol    none

produces the following error


Something went wrong

fsockopen(): unable to connect to none://smtpout.secureserver.net:3535 (Unable to find the socket transport "none" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in SMTP.php on line 125

Changing the port yields the same message (:25 rather than :3535).

I am able to send an email to web@photographs-now.com from Thunderbird (using the same settings) with no issue.  My hosting provider has indicated that the parameters that I am using are correct.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Herschel

PS  I had no issues with the Contact Form in Backlight

Re: Contact Form eMail fails

Your server isn’t able to make calls out to ports 25 or 3535. Your host may be able to help, but it’s likely to be against their policy to connect to external SMTP servers. The other option is to try 'mail' instead of 'smtp'.

Re: Contact Form eMail fails

Thanks for the info.  I now have the "Send Test Email" working, using "mail," but from my contact form, I get an acknowledgment that the email was sent, but it is not received. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Herschel

Have you checked spam/junk folders?

Re: Contact Form eMail fails

Yes...  nothing there.  The mail is there from the Test Email function.

Update.  I tried the contact form using Chrome rather than FireFox and the email was received.  I had already cleared cache from Firefox, but it had no effect. 

So I presume that the issue is resolved to some extent.

Thanks
