Magento 1.9 – Enable Sending Emails

magento-1.9

I am trying to enable emails sending in magento 1.9, so I enabled the contact us flag from the admin panel and I set all the addresses.

My Environment is:
Server: EC2 , Domain: Godaddy, Magento 1.9

I also added the MX records to godaddy.

But now magento not sending any email when I test contact us page.

Note: Also I setup the SMTP setting from admin->configuration->advance->mail

Any extra steps?

Thank you.

Your problem comes from the SMTP configuration and the queued emails !

Since Magento 1.9.1, the emails are not being sent directly during checkout but instead are being queued. The queue is being processed via your Magento cronjob.

The contact us dont work, this one comes from the smtp issue if you hanevn't some error in your contacts module !.

I suggest you to install this free extension SMTP Pro, set the SMTP config connexion like Gmail for exemple, and dont forget to set Queue Usage to never, save and your problem is solved.
