Expresso FreeMember - reset password form email

Question

I'm testing the reset password form for FreeMember and emails are not arriving. Here's the code (same as here).

{exp:freemember:forgot_password return="/account/forgot_sent" }

            <p>
                <label for="email">Email</label><br />
                {field:email}<br />
                {error:email}
            <p>

            <p>
                <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
            </p>

      {/exp:freemember:forgot_password}

No errors appear. No emails arrive. I've tested EE's native emailer and the emails arrive, so that's not the issue. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

It's almost certainly being caught in some form of spam filter.

As a starting point, I suggest you sign up for a service such as SendGrid (free for up to 200 emails/day) rather than sending email directly from your server. This will help diagnose the issue as you can log into their web console and check the emails are actually being sent.
