Installed CFv6 and configured the Demo Basic Contact Form, will not send mail. The test of the form reports the following error: "[result] => the Mail could not be sent."

Joomla's email and other 3rd party modules send email without effort.

I intentionally have not configured an email program to send mail on the server.

For Questions: (1) Does CFv6 use the Joomla phpmail function? or (2) must install a sendmail program such as Postfix to send emails from Chronoforms?

Thank you,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

Cfv6 uses the Joomla mailer, which means that if Joomla mail works then v6 should send fine, unless your email configuration is wrong, please test with email configuration matching exactly the mail you receive from Joomla.

Best regards,

I have it working, but have the following issues:
(1) Only one (1) email address can be present within the "recipient list";
(2) Does not use the "{data:name}" or other macros; and
(3) the email duplicates the information being sent, as follows:
