 * It sounds like your hosting provider has disabled PHP’s `mail()` function, which
   WordPress uses to send you email notifications and is also used by contact form
   plugins and more.
 * This is a common safeguard employed by hosting providers when they suspect that
   another customer on the same server is sending spam emails directly from the 
   server.
 * Another alternative is that PHP’s `mail()` function is still active, but spammer
   activity from the server has already caused any email sent from it to be blocklisted.
   This would result in the emails being sent but never received by any email address
   with basic anti-spam capabilities.
 * You can check this by leaving a comment on your site and checking if you receive
   an email. Another alternative would be to use the [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   plugin and send yourself a test email from the plugin’s Tools tab to see if it
   works.
 * If you didn’t receive a test email, you could try using an [SMTP plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/smtp/)
   to configure your WordPress site to use your email’s outgoing mail server instead
   of PHP’s `mail()` function.
