Form fails to email notification.

    My form works great, except it doesnt send an email notification. The completed form does show up in the submitted form list.

    I tried the following test php and it worked fine:
    <?php
    mail('your_email@example.com', 'Test Subject', 'Test Message');
    echo "Mail sent! Please check it.";
    ?>

    Hello Matt!

    I've just checked your server and found out that it uses dedicated SMTP host to send email.

    I've set the correct SMTP hostname to your config.php file.

    Try your form again please. The email function should be working now.

    Woohoo! It's working. Thanks Yuniar. Quick response. That's great customer service. You must be on the other side of the world, since it's 1:30AM here in Arizona, USA.

    HEllo again dear yuniar

    It is me again, you see I got so addicted to your marvelous software, today I bought a new licence for another site I have , Well, i need your help here :

    after I made the form and enabled the captcha, it does not show up in the form, any idea why ??
    i used to have anther form on the same web with captcha, and it worked fine the past , but the new form from your software, dont want to show it at all, any great ideas,

    it shows well wiht my other site, both have the same host

    by th way my broswer is IE7

    here is my code in config.php

    /** CAPTCHA settings **/
    /** To use reCAPTCHA you must get an API key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey **/
    define('RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY','6Lcm3IAAAAAAOOuW-maUseluGqdGI_Kx7WWgwvBK');
    define('RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY','6Lcm3AIAAAAAAOR4MHVThCdX9JXDxF7zPmJEPmrL');

    /** Set below to 'true' if you prefer to use the internal CAPTCHA implementation instead of reCAPTCHA **/
    /** GD extension must be enabled in order to use this option **/
    define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',true);

    Any suggestion ?

    Thanks a million

    Hello aladdin,

    Try this, change this line:

    define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',true);

    to become:

    define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',false);

    Thank you for your reply, I tried it, that means
    I can only use recapcha and internal captcha
    I can use the recapcha alright , it is woring well
    but for ease of access or my customers i want to use the internal captcha, simply the image doesnot show up
    should I send you the login names ad other info to see foryourself
    Thanks for your great help

    I've just checked your forms and see the built-in CAPTCHA image already showing up there.
    I suppose you have fixed it?

    I seem to be having the same issue as matman. The form works great and sends to the control panel but I never receive an email notification. The hosting company is GoDaddy and I've tried the php test already (I receive the "Mail sent! Please check it." message but never receive an email).

    If you are using GoDaddy, you need to modify your config.php to use GoDaddy's SMTP.

    Based on their article here:
    http://help.godaddy.com/article/951

    Modify your config.php and set these lines:

    define('USE_SMTP',true);
    define('SMTP_HOST','relay-hosting.secureserver.net');
    define('SMTP_PORT',25);

    you can left the other as default.

    Hello yuniar,

    I tried the changes you mentioned and now I receive the following message when I hit the submit button.

    Error sending email: SMTP Error: Data not accepted.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/m/e/d/medigap06/html/machform/includes/helper-functions.php:489) in /home/content/m/e/d/medigap06/html/machform/confirm_embed.php on line 36

    Any suggestions? This form is on a clients site so I am currently just trying to test the form results email to my gmail account. Could that be causing any issues?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hmm.. that's weird. GoDaddy usually worked fine.

    I noticed that you are using Linux hosting plan, this one is even better actually, you shouldn't need the SMTP setting I posted above.

    Is it possible for me to have temporary FTP login to your machform folder?
    We'll investigate it further.

    Please send the info to:
    customer.service [at] appnitro.com
