Hi ,
I am not receiving any email after chronoforms has sent it . I have read the email tutorial and my email address is enabled. When I submit my test form I get the following debug msg :

 
Message
•	Form passed first SPAM check OK
•	Form passed the submissions limit (if enabled) OK
•	Form passed the Image verification (if enabled) OK
•	Form passed the server side validation (if enabled) OK
•	Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
•	Emails data loaded OK
•	Form passed all before email code evaluation OK
•	An email has been SENT successfully from (joe)admin@goodapplehelp.com to joeappleton18@hotmail.com
•	Debug End

Goodapplehelp.com is my domain so this cant be the problem. Does anyone have any further suggestions ?

Hi sirius21,

Can your site send an email to your hotmail address if you click an email icon in an ordinary article?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your quick response . Apologies for my ignorance on this I am not 100% sure what you mean! Are you saying I need to set up a email account for [email]admin@goodapple.com[/email] in order for this to work?

Hi sirus21,

No, I'm just trying to establish if your site can send email at all.

A normal Joomla article has three icons at the top right (unless you've turned them off) one of these lets you send the page url to a friend. If you click that and send the url to your hotmail address does the email arrive OK?

Thanks great bit of advice. I have check to see if joomla sends emails from articles and although it confirms the email has been successfully sent it fails to arrive in my hotmail account.

I assume the problem is with my global config male settings :



Does anyone have any tips on how to correctly config the settings ?

Hi sirus21,

The PHP Mail Function is a bit creaky. Try sendmail - that often works out of the box, though SMTP mailer is usually the best setting. You'll need the address of an SMTP mailer and a login - your host probably has one as part of your signup info (it's the code used to send emails from [email]me@mysite.com[/email]). If you need to you can set up a Gmail account and use the Google SMTP Mail info in there.
