The text after sending confirms that the mail would be sended.

if an email is sent to the visitor then something should be wrong with the email settings to admin

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Misterious, site copied to another hoster works. I will check the settings but nothing was changed in the forms since years.

I am thinking about updating CF. Is there a function to take over the existing forms?

joomla 3 does not support v8, I suggest you keep your CF6 till you have J4

Hello
I cannot find out the problem.
The settings in the form looks well for me ( I am not fit in CF6)






But what I saw is, that in Joomla config I cannot send a testmail, too. Undepended PHPmail oder sendmail.

Is here someone who can help?

Aren't this fields needed to have the sender mail and name? So the mail to Website owner will have name and mailadress from it's owner instead of customers data.

I have removed them and I have no error message now.
