Not getting emails from Magento custom form

Question

I made a custom form using instructions found at Inchoo. I've created the form and it's appearing properly but the mails are not sending at all. I get an error 'Unable to Send email' which comes from the catch part of the code. Nothing in the system.log or exceptions.log files to give me a clue.

The form has an action of domain.com/postajob/index/sendemail/ and my IndexController.php file looks like this

<?php
class BWD_JobForm_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function sendemailAction()
{
    //Fetch submited params
    $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
    $from_email = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/email');
    $from_name = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/name');

    $mail = new Zend_Mail();
    $mail->setBodyText($params['role']);
    $mail->setFrom($from_email, $from_name);
    $mail->addTo($params['email'], $params['name']);
    $mail->setSubject('Test Post a Job Module for Magento');
    try {
        $mail->send();
    }
    catch(Exception $ex) {
        Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError($ex->getMessage());
    }

    //Redirect back to index action of (this) inchoo-simplecontact controller
    $this->_redirect('thanks/');
}
}
?>

I've also tried methods mentioned here and here but none of them work. For the record, mail sending is enabled in the configuration.

Answer 1

you can try below code for email this is always working for me.

$mail = Mage::getModel('core/email')
->setToName($senderName)
->setToEmail($customerEmail)
->setBody($YourMSG)
->setSubject('Subject :')
->setFromEmail($senderEmail)
->setFromName($senderName)
->setType('html');

$mail->send(

And also you can try below code

$emailTemplate  = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
$emailTemplate->setSenderName('Name');
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail('[email protected]');
$emailTemplate->setTemplateSubject('Subject');
$emailTemplate->send('[email protected]','ReciverName',$data);
