mail setup

Can anyone give me some guidance on what I need to do to get eForm to send mail? I see that there are a few options: mail, sendmail, smtp. When I submit the form, I’m not getting any emails, and I’m not sure where the problem is occurring.
Any suggestions? What sort of things do I need to check as prerequisites? Which method is best? How can I tell eForm which method to use? How do I set the server/port? Is there a special DNS requirement, eg, MX record? Any suggestions on how to debug?

As you can tell, I’m kind of at a loss with the email.

Is the form redirecting to your "thank you" page or displaying a success message?

I get the original form back again, with no message. Here’s the snippet call:



I just used the templates from the examples.

Post up your form template if you could. Is the page itself cached?

Page is not cached. See attached chunks.

Here’s the problem, you need to modify the value in your form:

Match the &formid=`myform` parameter in your call. "myform" should become "feedbackForm", I think. I’m not sure if you’ll have any issues with an uncached call on an uncached page, but that might be problematic ... just FYI ... but I doubt it.

doh! Now I’m getting somewhere. Thanks.

The error I get now is: "Main mail: Mailer was unable to send mailThe following From address failed: <emailaddr>"

Put in a real email address there ... or more fun bring a 6 pack over and we’ll sit down and knock it out tonight.

Sorry, I did use a real email...I just omitted it for this post. I’ll definitely take you up on that...just gimme a date/time.
