PS I also get a blank page after submission, instead of redirecting to the thank you page... i wonder if that may have anything to do with it also?

There seems to be an error with the mail functionality but the PHP on your server is being configured to hide any error message, hence you were getting blank white page.
Try to contact your hosting tech support and ask them to enable error reporting for the PHP.
They can do it by editing the "php.ini" file and set this value:display_errors = On
then test your form again. The error message should be displayed.
Please let us know the detailed error message.MachForm Founder

Hi All,
i got it to work.
my host refuses to allow smtp is the problem.
work around:
1. go to your cpanel, emails.
2. create an email address.
3. get the hosts details (mine were mail.mydomain.com, port 25, authentication on, ssl off)
4. put that instead of your gmail account in the settings in machform
5. emails will work and will go to your gmail account also.hope that helps someone.
