Hiya Guys,

Looking at a website with a contact form (Fast Secure Contact Form http://wordpress.org/plugins/si-contact-form/) and although the form looks like it works it's not emailing anything.

Does anyone know if Wordpress has a built in email queue anywhere?

I think I've fixed the problem and test emails now go out fine, but I wouldn't mind recovering any missing mails.  I'm not holding out a huge amount of hope but you never know :)

This e-mail communication isn't strictly confidential, and chances are I won't mind at all if you forward it to everyone you know and your cat. In fact the only thing I do mind is people sending me chain e-mail after chain e-mail, send me the odd good one, naked bird content is usually a bonus. Or genuinly funny ones. Oh, while we're on this subject, please refrain from sending me any virus warnings. Regardless of how badly it will destroy my PC and kill my house plants if my next door neighbour has a friend who thinks his cousin in Australia may have looked at an icon which was this virus. I will take my chances into my own hands about viruses. Oh yeah, while I'm at it, that 'virus' with the teddy bear icon isn't a virus, and if you've deleted it already don't worry, if you didn't know it wasn't a virus you don't need it. If I ended up sending this e-mail to the wrong person, don't worry about it. But if you know who I was supposed to send it to and can send it on to save me time doing it that'd be great. If not just e-mail me back letting me know I screwed up somewhat and I'll no doubt apologise.

There is no internal email queue in WordPress by default. Unless the plugin creates one.

The likely place to find your missing emails is in the server mail queue. Some control panels will give you access to that. If not, enquire with the hosting company. 

Depending on what the problem was and how long ago they tried to be sent, they may well be lost forever.

Cheers Mike,

Lost for ever would be my vote too, nothing in the MTA queue since it was Posfix breaking in the first place which led to a lack of email delivery :)
