Hi hannysog,

If you do not put an address in the Form General tab then Joomla 'should' use the address from the Site Configuration. But if I remember correctly this works for the From address but not the Reply to address.

Far better to put the addresses in the General tab.

Please check this FAQ for email problems.

Wow, thats great!! tq for the info, but actually im still not clear with the config at the Chronoform General tab. Could you explain it one by one, tq, Bob!!

Hi hannysog,

The safe way is to make sure that you have:

a) a valid email address in the 'Email address(es)' box

b) a different valid email address in both the 'From Email' and the 'ReplyTo email' boxes (these two can be the same as each other).

c) some text in the 'From name' and 'ReplyTo name' boxes.

Your ISP may well validate the ReplyTo and From email addresses and these may need to 'belong' to the same domain as your website.
