Specify email address and sender name of the notification email

    I tried everything i found in the forum but none seems to work.

    I keep getting the email address of my test server (i think that's the cgi) but not the one I specified. How can I do this so users can also hit reply on the notification?

    Where did you specify the email address? For MachForm to deliver to a "default" address; the address needs to be in the config.php. Check that to make sure you have the correct email address entered.

    Thanks for the response, I already set it in the config.php in this code.

    /** Default notification email settings **/
    define('NOTIFICATION_MAIL_FROM','myemail@address.com');
    define('NOTIFICATION_MAIL_FROM_NAME','My Custom Sender Name');
    define('NOTIFICATION_MAIL_SUBJECT',''); //default is '{form_name} [#{entry_no}]'

    Still users and admin doesn't receive the specified sender details above. Also the same is true with SMTP configured or not.

    What about these settings associated with SMTP mail?

    The settings below need to be setup to use SMTP. Note the first option - set "Use SMTP to TRUE".

    I assume when you say you've already set the SMTP settings, you have in fact set the settings below?:

    define('USE_SMTP',false); //set this to 'true' to use SMTP

    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');
    define('SMTP_SECURE',false); //set this to 'true' if your server is using secure SMTP (TLS/SSL)

    The use of an email address validation tool is a very reliable tool on the Internet. There are several e-mail address checkers you can find now. The good thing with using an e-mail address checker is that you need not worry about trying to analyze if the domain name or the SMTP server is correct or not because the checker does the job for you.The email sender software should produce a number of valuable reports that will provide statistics pertaining to unsubscribers.

    After you change the "notification mail" info in config.php file, you need to re-save the mail setting. Simply go to "emails" menu and save it again.
    That would change the information in machform database.
