Description

I have had the ecard module installed on my ecard site (inkburst.com) for about 6 mos. However, it recently stopped working. I'm not sure if it was after a drupal update or not, but when I send a card, everything appears to work normally. I receive a confirmation screen with a copy of the card that is viewable. The problem is that the recipient never receives the card.

I'm using Drupal 6.13. I've tried uninstalling the ecard module and reinstalling, but that hasn't worked. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

Is you site sending mails at all? Do you send mail at account creation for example?

I just tested this, and no, emails are not going out on account creation either. I'm a newbie - what's the first thing I should look at to diagnose the problem?

Thanks so much for your help!

Drupal uses the php function mail() as basic sending method.

Please try out some of the examples and see if your server is capable of sending mails.

This should work with out many problems and than drupal and ecard will be able to send mails.
Otherwise try this module

Kars-T - thanks for your help with this. I looked into the php and tried a restore back to a previous issue. PHP wasn't the problem, but that pointed me toward the hosting and it turns out the issue was with hosting on GoDaddy. I'm not sure exactly what changed on their end, but since the site was always reeeeeally slow on GoDaddy, I switched to A2 Hosting. Since then, the emails are sending and the site is much faster.
