I have made a new clean wordpress install, tried to reset password, and nothing works when trying to do such.

In console on ps aux I can see the above processes. Thats all there is visible.

check your firewall, some server provider default blocked sendmail function (e.g. port 25)

[deleted]

I have no extra firewall functions deployed.

[deleted]

And my dedicated servers are not locked.

hklcf

test your sendmail on ssh

echo "Subject: sendmail test" | sendmail -v your@email.com

[deleted]

[root@apa centos]# echo "Subject: sendmail test" | sendmail -v cosmin@uhlhost.net
postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/652695.1169380: No such file or directory
postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/653160.1169380: No such file or directory

hklcf

try kill postdrop and sendmail process
kill -9 $(ps -auwx | grep postdrop | gawk -F' ' '{print $2}')
kill -9 $(ps -auwx | grep sendmail | gawk -F' ' '{print $2}')

restart postdrop and sendmail
service postdrop start
service sendmail start

Very weird behaviours:

[root@apa centos]# service postdrop start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start postdrop.service
Failed to start postdrop.service: Unit postdrop.service not found.
[root@apa centos]# service sendmail start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start sendmail.service
Failed to start sendmail.service: Unit sendmail.service not found.
[root@apa centos]#

[deleted]

[deleted]

I believe this is a issue on nginx side yet not sure about this yet. Maybe aaPanel_Jose can help us.

Just seen this post and I made a test with my contact form. I tried to send a message using the contact form.
Surprise 😅 I received a nice "502 Bad Gateway Nginx"
and this error:

2020/08/27 20:14:59 [error] 13902#0: *124840 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 109.99.64.83, server: spare-wheel.com, request: "POST /contact HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/tmp/php-cgi-74.sock:", host: "www.spare-wheel.com", referrer: "https://www.spare-wheel.com/contact"

help, please

A server reboot fixed my issue. At least for now.

Have you tried to increase the number of child processes in the php manager?

idflorin

aaPanel_Jose my curent settings in php 7.4

anyway, now it's working

[deleted]

Not woeking for us. Tried reboot. Increased nr of childs.

idflorin

It's happening again "502 Bad Gateway Nginx" on the contact form. Restart Nginx, Restart Php 7.4. No effect.
Restart VPS => "Your message has been sent." Restarting the VPS is not a solution.

[deleted]

@aaPanel_Jose any ideas on troubleshooting and solving this issue? Emails are a must no matter server type.

[deleted] For me restarting the VPS solves the problem for a time. I'll keep testing to see how much time.
