p01-contact error: "Error : no message was sent."

[Mark Nielsen]

I've installed the p01-contact on a site and it works perfectly, except for not sending any emails - somewhat of a show-stopper!

I've tried it on a couple of fairly plain-vanilla Debian servers, both with email services properly configured. One server runs Lenny (PHP 5.2) and the other Squeeze (PHP 5.3). The error I get from the contact form on both sites is:

Error : no message was sent.

There's probably not enough info here for anyone to help me - so how can I go about debugging this?

Have found the answer to this. My server doesn't have phpmail turned on. The guys managing my server say this is a "feature not a bug", as it guards against the risk of hacked websites on my box sending lots of spam. The downside is obviously that I'll have to get the CMSs I host to send via SMTP rather than phpmail. If I can't, I'll get "the guys" to turn on phpmail

Anyway - my problem. I'm sure p01-contact works just fine.

How do you set up SMTP mail with get-simple?

I've faced similar issue. Has anyone tried to adapt p01-contact to make work via SMTP?
