Not sure if this should go under email or PHP, but email notifications of web form submissions are being silently discarded. Not sure if it’s by PHP or exim. Has anyone run into this and fixed it?

If I configure the forms to send via SMTP it works, but sending via PHP’s mail() function doesn’t work and doesn’t even hit the exim log.

Unfortunately, not all form plugins offer SMTP.
 
It might have to do with the new Exim configuration.
I have asked that question here (click) and got answered.

So is it php mail () (which should work if I understand correctly)? Or is the script using PHPMailer. In the last care you can't use port 25 anymore and need SSL/TLS.
However you can also make an easy customisation to prevent port 25 smtp traffic, best is to read the thread and check the changelog (click) for options on which you can customize.
 
One example is the WordPress plugin Gravity Forms, which uses php mail() unless you pay for their SMTP plugin.

I skimmed the thread and the changelog but I’m not sure what to change.
 
I don't know either as @sparek said that php mail() would not give issues if I understood his answer to me correctly.

Can you set a port in the plugin where it has to use? Normally one can setup a port and by default that is often set to 25.
You could change that to 587 if it's changable.

You still need customisations. If you can not set another port, then port 25 needs to be opened again.
I'm just not sure if that would be option 1 or 2 from the changelog.
