Email not send from Chronoforms V5. What am I doing wrong?

Wichiw 21 May, 2014
Dear Greyhead and Max,

First of all, I love your extensions! Awsome. I have been using Chronoforms on several websites that I have recently migrate from 1,5 to 3.x (should have done that much earlier).

Anyway, I have the following issue. Whatever I try, I am not getting the email action to work. As far as I can tell al settings are correct. I simply dont receive the email. Also it isn't in the spam folder.

The is what the debug shows.

Ok I continued with some testing ofcourse. And I discovered something very strange... When I change the to email adres to a non gmail.com adres it does work!! Also when send to gmail, the email is not in the spam folder. For some reason it just doesnt seem to arrive..... And I dont have a gmail adres anywhere else in the joomla settings..... The problem is that the form has to be send to a gmail adres... So I am still having a major problem here.. 😟

Hope you guys can help me out 🙂

Hi Wichiw,

The first place to look is your GMail spam folder. ChronoForms and Joomla! appear to be sending the email correctly so something is making Google block it. The most common reason I have seen is when the From and To Email addresses are the same but that doesn't seem to be true here.

Hello, I have a similar problem. Using cf v5 and joomla 3.2. whatever i do i can't succeed to send an email with email action on submit. As written before email "to" address was a gmail address. I changed it, but nothing has changed. Debug info says the mail was sent succesfully but it is not... Please help me to solve this issue.

Hi Wichiw,

It still seems as though ChronoForms is sending the email correctly but GMail is blocking it. This can happen if the To and From email addresses are the same (or aliases for the same mailbox).
