   Hi

   I am using Machform on Windows with WAMP - it is runnign very well, but I cannot get email notifications to work. Is there something I should know?

   I have tried the php emailer and SMTP and get no error messages with either. I have also set up the notification to send me an email on the form settings.

   Many thanks

   Alan

   Sending email from a localhost installation (WAMPServer, XAMP etc) is not that straightforward - I don't think emailing function (either php mail, sendmail or SMTP) is available by default.

   Are you using WAMPServer (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)?

   Try this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXvGKnWXH5A

   Here's another for getting SMTP working from a localhost instllation (for examle with GMail).

   Thanks for your suggestions.

   I followed the tutorial on youtube (much better to have a written one) but its still not working.

   I did intend to run Machform on a Raspberry Pi longer term, but I have hit a block getting the FTP server working for some strange reason.

   Update - Its working on Raspberry Pi - Though not email yet. I suspect this is may be because I have exceeded the licence restriction. I have a support ticket in for that, so hope it works.

   Update - I finally got email working today - it seems to only work when I set the advanced options in each of the forms notifications settings.
