I’m on a brand-spanking new Linux box (Cent OS 5). What modules does eForm require? Sendmail? eForm isn’t currently working, and I’m almost positive it’s because of something missing on the server. I didn’t see any mention of this type of stuff in the documentation.
Thanks!

It uses the same mailing system that MODx itself does. The class.phpmailer.php file that MODx (and eForm) uses is in manager/includes/controls. This is configured to use /usr/bin/sendmail, which is almost always either the actual mailer daemon or a link to the mail daemon being used (postfix, etc).

If, for whatever reason, sendmail doesn’t work, phpmailer can also be set to use SMTP with any remote SMTP host you have an account with.

Actually, that can be taken care of in eForm itself; line 452 of assets/snippets/eform/eform.inc.php has the configuration setting for using php’s mail() function. This can be changed to use SMTP, in which case you’d need to add three more settings for the server and the mail account’s login information.

I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on my situation, or might have had the same trouble. I have had a look throught e forum but not come up with anything.
I have installed eform and all is working correctly...well almost. The addresses assinged do not get the mail, I have checked and double checked the spellings, then pasted them into my e-mail client and sent a test mail which gets there ok, I have replaced the addresses with my address and I get the form results OK.
I know the addresses are correct they do receive mail but not the form results. Does anyone know of this happening?
How is your e-mail client set-up? If it uses SMTP you will probably have to pass more parameters to eform to set the mail up as previous posters have suggested, in any case check your error and mail logs for signs of trouble.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
So, do you mean eform works if you use yourdomain2.co.uk but doesnt if you use mydomain.co.uk?
If so this is a mail setup feature on your host, your mail logs will tell you why the mail is rejected.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
that is correct, I am trying to get the mail logs as we speak.
I will stop hunting and probably post back here later with the results if that is OK. Really appreciate your help shamblett.
