OK, slowly despairing...

Have set up Chronoforms with Joomla 1.0 but it refuses to send emails. The mailserver can send mails to these adresses and I have been checking and rechecking the settings in Chronoforms with all the suggestions in the forums. The mails are also correctly registered in the DB table.

Whatever I try, I keep getting the "Email not sent" message when in debug mode. And the Mailserver is not registering any activity from the website, either... 😟 😟 😟

It seems like the whole Chronoforms is not able to "talk" to the Mailserver (Mercury, i have installed a XAMPP Package).

Anything obvious that I have overlooked? Any information I can supply to help with the answers?

Any help greatly, greatly appreciated, as the Boss is getting impatient...

THANKS!

Hi Svend,

Have you checked the 'My emails won't send' FAQ? This covers the most common reasons in Joomal 1.0.x.

There was one buggy version of CF that wouldn't send if you ahd a redirect url set. That's not the latest version but you can check by removing any ReDirect url to test.

Hello Bob

First, amazed and grateful at the speed of the reply and the first suggestions. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

I have followed the FAQ, I am able to define and mail with the email icon, that works, so Joomla is using the mail server.

I have made a small test form, trying to see if there were any strange settings that would impede the sending, but this isnt working either. I am enclosing the screenshots, maybe you see something I have overlooked.

Hi Svend,

From memory I think that Joomla tries to validate the From/ReplyTo email address and postmaster@localhost will fail the validation - [email]postmaster@localhost.com[/email] should work OK

:D 😀 😀
Brilliant, that did the trick. I didn't "see" the issue, because my mailserver itself could sent mails correctly with "postmaster@localhost" without the .com

Many, many thanks!

Great program and even greater support!!
