Website Contact Forms
Due to several external factors, emails sent via Contact Form could be missing in a user's mailbox. The main reason is that messages to the following address cannot be sent or received.
Email from a Contact Form might not have been received or received incorrectly due to:
- Poor Internet connection: 25 MBPS and less is considered "slow Internet" and can impact sending or receiving emails.
- Email storage is full: All incoming messages would be bounced back to a sender with an "undelivered" mark. The customer should delete all irrelevant or outdated emails to settle this problem.
- Email is received in the wrong folder: Some settings may route emails to trash. It's necessary to examine all folders to ensure that email is missing and review filter settings.
- IP Address is blocked: Emails from a particular sender can get into Spam due to a blocked IP address. To receive letters from such IP, add it to a Whitelist (or allowlist) in settings. Note that it's only possible to apply changes to the whole domain.
- Email provider issue: In some cases, an email provider receives a Contact Form confirmation email from the sender but doesn’t deliver it to the recipient (customer). In such cases, it's necessary to contact the email provider and request an investigation.
- Provider delays: The provider's server can be overloaded or experience downtime. In this case, it's advised to check if there is an issue notification and wait.
