is this still working

[Ahmed Aman]

I've tried email form and had no luck, is web script still working?

[Steve Marx]

We're not aware of any current issues. Maybe you can share your code and explain what's going wrong when you tried it?

What do you mean "on contact form I keep getting captcha failed"? Have you built a contact form? What does the code for that look like?

[Steve Marx]

It looks like you're trying to send mail from "he...@webscript.io", which won't work since you don't own that account.

[Steve Marx]

Also, unless it's just some sort of copy/paste error, it looks like you have angle brackets (<>) around all your strings. E.g. it should just be 'smtp.gmail.com' not '<smtp.gmail.com>'.

[Ahmed Aman]

I've changed that email to the one I'm using for the local usernme. but still i get an error 500 and the log says "Server is required."

[Ahmed Aman]

Ive done everything you've asked to correct but still keeps getting the same error. "server required".

[Ahmed Aman]

the contact form is working now. 

[Steve Marx]

Do you mean that you were able to fix your issue? Or are you still having trouble?

[Ahmed Aman]

Well what was wrong with my contact form was I wrote a wrong private captcha key in the script. but after correcting that it worked but I was able to send only one test submission through that form, and now again i keep getting the error 500. the log says the captcha was verified there seems to nothing wrong, but why do i get this error. also I don't get any submissions now.

[Steve Marx]

Can you share your current code?

Also, when you get a 500 error, you will often see a message in the log telling you what your error was.

[Ahmed Aman]

local USERNAME = '**@gmail.com'

local PASSWORD = '**'

local SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com'

local RECAPTCHAKEY = '**'

local recaptcha = require 'recaptcha'

local markdown = require 'markdown'

 

if recaptcha.validate(RECAPTCHAKEY, request) then

html = markdown(request.form.body)

email.send {

server = SERVER, username = USERNAME, password = PASSWORD,

from = '**@gmail.com', to = '**@gmail.com',

subject = '[contact form] '..request.form.subject,

text = request.form.body,

replyto = request.form.replyto,

html = html

}

return '<p>Sent the following mail:</p>'

..'<p>Subject: '..request.form.subject..'</p>'

..html,

{['Content-Type'] = 'text/html'}

else

return 'Failed CAPTCHA.'

end

It's hard to know what the issue is... we'll work on adding better logging for SMTP errors. But it generally means the server you're trying to send email through is returning an error. (Maybe you have the wrong credentials or are trying to send as the wrong user.)

[Steve Marx]

FYI, I just rolled out some more detailed logging for SMTP authentication errors, so if that's what's happening, then the next time you get an error you should see information in the log about what happened.
