    was finally able to install QuickEmail, got the following output:
    System Settings (used if property is missing):
    emailsender System Setting: [email protected]
    site_name System Setting: XXXXX XXXXX
    Properties (from parameters, property set, or snippet default properties:
    Tpl chunk name:
    subject:
    to:
    fromName:
    replyTo:
    emailSender:
    allowHtml: 1
    message:
    Final Values (actually used when sending email):
    subject: Default Subject
    to: [email protected]
    fromName: [email protected]
    replyTo: [email protected]
    emailSender: [email protected]
    allowHtml: 1
    Message Body: Default Message
    Send reported successful


    but no emails have come through yet. so it appears that modx is having trouble sending emails, since as i mentioned above, a basic snippet with a hardcoded mail(); function sent without issue.

    anymore insight??

      okay, came through, but got caught up as spam again by gmail... what gives?

      <<< 553 sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1)
      501 5.6.0 Data format error

      any ideas how to correct this "data format error"?

        Are you on GoDaddy, by any chance?

        Try setting the fromName and maybe emailSender to an email account at your host, rather than the Gmail account.

          yup, it is a basic godaddy cheapo hosting account. i’m not sure if there are *any* email addresses setup with this domain on the host. i’ll check it out. (this isn’t my site, so i didn’t setup any of the hosting).

            When I Googled that error, GoDaddy came up over and over. It looks like GD doesn’t like it if you send email where the addresses don’t match your domain.
