I am having trouble with the contact form. I am hosting my site with Chillidog. I don’t expect much email traffic and want to use the Roundcube Webmail in my cPanel. I am using the user name I use for my host and the Roundcube Webmail. What am I missing? Reading the cPanel documentation seems complex and perhaps beyond my skills.
Host needs to be the actual outgoing mailserver (usually smtp.yourdomain.com) and the username and password has to be an email account on that server.
Try this as your host http://nacho.chillidoghosting.com:23261/
For Chillidog, email the host is typically something like “mail.mydomain.com” and the port is 465 with the encryption set to SSL. These are the settings I use for my Chillidog mail.
I’m still not having any luck. I’ve tested the email, and it works. I hope eventually this becomes easier. I’ve also sent a request to Exact Hosting. Someone mentioned Webhooks. When I have more time, I will look into that. I appreciate everyone willing to help. Here are my settings. The password is the one created for hugh@yosemitecollection.com

Also change your Encryption field to SSL if you are going to be using port 465, which it seems they are recommending.
This may sound obvious but everyone here concentrating on your set up. Is the domain name in the set up general tab same as email address your using? I made this basic error so just checking
I had the same problem and ended up using Zapier webhooks to get around it.

A webhook is definitely simpler and fairly easy to implement especially is Zapier!
…and Dev Diary 67 will give you some insight into just how powerful a webhook can be!
I just got it to work. In cPanel, I went to Email routing and changed it from Automatically to Local Mail Exchanger.
Can I use a webhook to forward email to my Gmail account?
The forwarding should be done in the cpanel as well.
