Using the "contact us", why does it not send the mail to my desired inbox. As can be seen below, it appears to send, it just does not get delivered to my inbox.

I get this output in the terminal but it's not sending the email to my account. I am running it locally.

  • What do the server logs say? Many mail servers reject mail coming from `local.mail` by the way, so you probably want to set a real hostname at the very least. – Martin Tournoij Mar 09 '16 at 23:05

  • @Carpetsmoker edits made, a real host name being a deployment to heroku or something of that nature? – user2026178 Mar 09 '16 at 23:07
