Hi guill9710,
​
There is no From Name showing in the Debugger output - if that is left empty the email will fail.
​
Bob

What Bob said.
​
Also, you don't have to actually create the email addresses you're sending "from".

Hi, thanks for your responses.
​
i added the from name but still not sending the email.

any other suggestion of areas to check?
​
thank you.

Hi guill9710,
​
Next check is - does the From Email match the email in the Site Admin Email settings?
​
Bob

Doesn't have to Bob. It can be literally anything as long as the domain matches. Source: done it a whole bunch of times.

Hi Bob,
yes, it does match. same exact email address.
is the attachment settings something to do with it?

Hi again Bob,
​
i tried removing the input in the attachment list although i left the auto attachment enabled and the email was sent successfully.
so it is not sending email if i input my file attachment in the attachment list. any idea why and how to fix it?

Hi guill9710,
​
The [files] array in the debug output is showing a list of file types rather than a file path/name - I guess that there is something wrong with the settings there.
