   Your host might require you to use SMTP to be able sending email.
   What is your hosting company?

   When you have your SMTP details, you can put them into your config.php file.

   change this line:

   define('USE_SMTP',false);

   to become:
   

   define('USE_SMTP',true);

   then adjust the settings below that line accordingly:
   

   define('SMTP_HOST','localhost');
   define('SMTP_PORT',25);
   define('SMTP_AUTH',false); //if your SMTP require authentification, set this to 'true'
   define('SMTP_USERNAME','YOUR_SMTP_USERNAME');
   define('SMTP_PASSWORD','YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD');

   Yes, change the host to use your host.
   Also, change this line:

   define('SMTP_AUTH',false);

   to become:
   

   define('SMTP_AUTH',true);

   The default port number is 25, most likely you won't need to change this one.
   However, if your host specify another port, simply adjust it.

    That's odd.
    Are you installing MachForm on a new server?

    I notice that you've been using MachForm since version 1.2
    Is it the same host as before? Is version 1.2 email working fine?

    Ok, no problem.

    Perhaps you can try to change your email address and make sure you have all the correct setting on your "Emails" page.

    Or perhaps try creating a simple test email script.
    Create a .php file and put this code:

    <?php
     mail('your_email@example.com', 'Test Subject', 'Test Message');
     echo "Mail sent! Please check it.";
    ?>

    Change the email address to the same addres you used for MachForm and run the script.
    If you didn't get any email, there might be some problem with your mail server.

    I see. So your host doesn't need SMTP then.

    change this line:
    

    define('USE_SMTP',true);

    back to:
    

    define('USE_SMTP',false);

    Hmm.. is it possible for me to login to your MachForm admin panel instead of FTP? No?

    do the forms work just like the code you send me or is there a big difference??

    <?php
    mail('your_email@example.com', 'Test Subject', 'Test Message');
    echo "Mail sent! Please check it.";
    ?>

    is there maybe something that i didnt fill out for it to not show?
