SMTP Error

Hello!

I have a strange problem regarding mailing via chronoforms. We have two forms on our site, one is the standard Joomla contact form, the other is a chronoform.

We use SMTP to send the mails received through the forms. From reading the forums, I believe that both forms share the standard Joomla SMTP settings (very sensibly). However, the standard Joomla one sends fine (I can confirm a received email too) and the chronoforms one does not and reports an SMTP error as follows:

"SMTP Error! Could not connect to SMTP host."

Both forms email to the same address, although this shouldn't be relevant.

Do you know what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Hi bigspring ,

Joomla! is a bit erratic with the mailer error messages :-( It could come from several different problems.

Please turn debug on for the form temporarily; then submit the form and copy and post all of the resulting output - including the 'dummy' email - here (or PM it to me if you prefer).

Hey!

Here's the debug report, which doesn't shed much light for me I'm afraid!

I've replaced any sensitive data. In case you do need it, let me know and I'll PM you.

Thanks.

Hi bigspring,

Please try making the From Email address match the domain name e.g. [email]info@mydomain.com[/email]

It already is I'm afraid. Any other ideas?

Hi bigspring,

Did you change it here?

Hi Bob - sorry, seemed to miss the notification email for your reply.

Yes, I changed it there myself. All email references were changed before I posted the debug info on the forum.

Hi bigspring,

Tough to check when all the key parts have been edited :-(

Please PM or email me an unedited copy of the debug page.

hi. i am having the same problem. Did you ever get this sorted?

Hi glens1234,

This is usually a problem with the mailer setup.

Bob
