Test email from Email Settings in Administration works as expected, but using the Contact form at the bottom of the page does nothing.

Where does this email go and what could be the reason for the failure to send?

I found this:

MSG: mail.py:create_and_send_mail_messages:82 Couldn't send mail using the sendmail met$

This issue was resulted by an exception thrown during email send process. All recipients were using a single SMTP connection. Now the email sending process has been improved and we listen for SMTP exceptions and if one happens we recreate the SMTP connection.

Please consider updating to the latest #1165 trunk version: http://svn.osqa.net/changelog/OSQA/?cs=1165

You probably need to check the logs before asking a question like this.

Logs can (typically) be found in the following locations:

  • /var/log/apache2/
  • ...OSQA_ROOT/log/

Obviously you've picked up on the fact that I'm a moron. Where would one find this log?

@Johnso, I've never used that contact form, and wouldn't know whether it works on my installation or not. I've updated your question with your new info about mail.py, and hopefully that will help get you an answer. If you get any more info from sendmail, django or apache logs, please do add it into the question
