Hi - I'm a little late to the plate here - sorry
Would it be possible to provide hCaptcha for this instead of reCaptcha ?
-
Just one quick link: https://intergen.org/blog/hcaptcha-versus-recaptcha
Project Honeypot is even better than captchas. Its operation is invisible and behind the scenes. .... There is also no data collection or third party profit motive. It is a community of web developers helping each other identify and block bad actors online.
Emphasis added.
Rock on!

@sampo2910 is there nothing in the developer console of the browser? Like an error message or anything
-
@sampo2910 long shot, but are any errors shown in the SMTP sending server's logs ? In some cases, this is enough to prevent the form from being submitted.
-
I am getting this now with the normal mail? This was a test.
I am using mail.com as an email and Custom settings in ACP. It was working before and now not?
..I dont want my personal emails being used.
Maybe someone can recommend the best way to do this? Which email provider is best and fully working?

@sampo2910 That timeout typically means the service you are attempting to connect to has not responded (it's known as a semaphore timeout) within a set period of time (with TCP, it's typically 30 seconds). I'd check the mail service you are connecting to, so if it's mail.com then you could try a direct connect from the server itself using telnet, so
telnet server.mail.com 25- obviously, you need the correct host name and port, but this is an example. If it connects, you'll get an SMTP greeting banner. If it doesn't connect, then this is likely the issue, and will need to be resolved before this plugin will work correctly. -
@enot said in [nodebb-plugin-contact-page] A contact form:
@phenomlab except port 25 is server to server, the plug-in will be connecting as a client over tls or starttls on port 465 or 587. So try one of those.
Yes, hence this
obviously, you need the correct host name and port,

Yeah, I know that feeling !

Instead of using a Custom service like mail, can I not use an iCloud alias for example?
That would be easier. Choose iCloud in the service and login with the alias? (not sure if need apple app specific password with that)
If these are in the ACP they should work right
-
@sampo2910 Yes, that should work also. You'll probably still need to select "Custom" in the drop down, but I see no reasons why that won't work. I use my own server's SMTP for notifications, and do it in exactly the same way, so I know it works.
-
I chose iCloud in the drop down and put in my alias email address and password.
It says that test email sent 'success' but nothing comes.
The alias is working because I have sent test email to it from another account.
In events it is showing the email [email protected]?
-
@sampo2910 Odd. Did you specify an email addres to send to in the plugin settings ? I don't actually use this plugin myself, so not sure of it's structure.
-
Things only appear in events like that if it is welcome template sent...
If you try any other template 'banned' for example or 'test' then nothing comes in the events list.
So whatever email you are setting up you just dont know if it is working because only certain templates work?? For me it is the welcome one it seems.
Expect a bit better than this to be honest. I have tried Gmail, iCloud and two custom ones and it is all the same.
