Contact form not sending emails

I have MODx setup on a couple of sites. On one site, I’m using the following snippet call for eForm:

[!eForm? &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &ccsender=`1` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &gotoid=`46` !]

Everything works fine there.

On another site, I’ve tried using the above call and the default one that’s part of the MODx install:

[!eForm? &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`[(email_sender)]` &ccsender=`1` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &invalidClass=`invalidValue` &requiredClass=`requiredValue` &cssStyle=`ContactStyles` &gotoid=`46` !]

But neither of those will send email to the address. Everything else is the same between the two sites, so is there something super-obvious that I’m missing here? I thought it might be a server issue but I can send to that address just fine from my personal email address. Possibly some other server issues (these sites ARE on different hosting accts).

Thanks,

Kenton

PS - I’m running v0.9.5 for the one that’s working, 0.9.6 for the one that’s giving me the headache

I think that the &to parameter needs to be in this format: &to=`[email protected]`

You don’t need to specify the &to=`....` parameter, it defaults to the address in the configuration. Or if you want to specify it, do it in the way dev_cw mentioned.

hi i am also having this problem. i did the default install and i have my configuration set up with my email in (though the only box for this is one saying "email that new user sign ups come from" - my contact form isn’t sending any emails to this address, am i missing something. please help, thanks.

Or try sending it to [(emailsender)] (without underscore).

[(emailsender)] is the default address in the configuration. That’s where it comes from.

so how do i go about fixing this problem, surely the contact form send it to [emailsender] or whatever already? so why am i not getting any emails?

- make sure you have a working e-mail address in your configuration and don’t use the &to=`....` parameter.

OR

- specify an address with the parameter &to=`[email protected]`

- make sure mails to this address are not discarded as spam

If that doesn’t help, check if you can send mail from your server with the php mail() function.

hi thanks for helping me out. the thing is i don’t understand the configuration, are we talking the main modx configuration menu, which offers a box to put your email addy in for those signing up to receive emails from. i don’t see a box for an email address for receiving emails...

Yes, if you don’t specify an address in the &to=`....` parameter, eForm sends the mail to the address in Tools > Configuration > User > E-mail address.
