Form Builder not sending mail

Post by Barrowboy »

Hi
When using formbuilder do you have to setup mail in cmsmailer? or is the formbuilder module a stand alone system?
I am using a simple form with name, email set to required, and a message box. Sendto is set my email address.
The form shows on the page correct but no email received.

My CMS is the latest version.

Can someone explain how to make this work. This is quite urgent as the site is live.

Thanks.

Yes, CMSMailer needs to be properly set up for this to send anything. Best is to use SMTP but if you can’t set this up the sendmail method or PHP mail() function should do as well.

Also don't forget some hosts are fussy about only sending to/from email addresses of the hosted domain, for spam reasons.

Indeed, first make sure you receive messages sent via CMSMailer. If you don't receive those (check spam folder too) then you surely won't receive one from Form Builder.

Then what Paul mentions.

Hi All

Thanks for your help, just needed to setup an email on server and then set the details in cmsmailer all now works.

Gets a bit frustrating at times when you can't see the wood for the trees.

Cheers.
