email not working for FeedbackForm

Hi, I'm using CMSMS 0.13, CMS Mailer Module 1.73.9, and FeedbackForm 0.9.12. I'm running this on fedora Core 4 with PHP 4.2.2 and MySQL 4.1.12, using Sendmail.

When I use the test function in CMS Mailer, I get an email from it.

I have created a "Results of feedback form" item as well as the other fields (http://www.jimcyr.net/index.php/story_guide). The feedback form appears to function well, but no email ever comes.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

When you made the form did you put an email field in the very first box with email address' to send the info to?

I think you're asking about making the "Results of Feedback Form" field, of type "Email results to set Address(es)". If so, the answer is yes, I put an email address in the first box under "Email Address(es) to Send Form Results".

Any other thoughts? Or did I misunderstand the question?

I found the problem, which had little to do with FeedbackForm or CMSMadeSimple at all.

The problem was this: FeedbackForm sends email from apache@[servername]. But on my server, there was no mailbox by that name, so other accounts on my server rejected the email as spam. Once I set up a POP box with that name, everything worked fine.

I post this in case someone else has the same problem!

Hi

posted as a bug here as well
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/in ... 1&atid=237
and
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 474.0.html
but I guess it's a more general problem. Maybe someone can help me...

Hi

I have created a feedbackform (and one with formbuilder) (you can see and "send" mail on
http://www.team-noehring.de/php/cmsmade ... ge=kontakt
)

I used "x" as name and firstname "x@x.com" as email and some text in the textarea.

None of the mail methods (Cms-mailer module) works for sending mails.
You will see, that the form "breaks" after clicking the send button ("Absenden").

cmsms: 1.0.2
module cmsmailer: 1.73.10
module feedback form: 0.9.14
module form builder: 0.1.1


code for the contact forms:
{cms_module module='FeedbackForm' form='Kontaktformular'}
and
{cms_module module='FormBuilder' form='Kontakt'}

To know if it's the forms or the mailer send a test email in the admin for Extensions ยป CMSMailer Module, I use "sendmail" and the address has to be real 'name @ domain.com' then check for it if it works then it's the forms...

Hi

well, when I go to configure the cmsmailer _all_ 3 settings (smtp, sendmail, mail) DO work fine.
I have not read this thread yet, but will do this tomorrow. ( http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... ;topicseen )

btw. what forum is used here? If this a cms module?
