Please replace the ??? with your data!

[desc]:I've set up the cforms plugin and it looks amazing.  Everything seems to be working ok, but when I hit 'SUBMIT' no emails are sent anywhere.  I've gone through the FAQ topics and through the forum and can't seem to figure it out.  I am hosting the site on Dreamhost so it is NOT yahoo or google.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

  1. double and tripple check your cforms admin email settings (FROM: address etc.)
  2. check if your provider has limitations around PHP's mail() function
  3. try using cforms SMTP feature for email delivery (it may require your providers PHP server to support SSL!)
  4. look into your SPAM folders

everything short of asking my provider…because they haven't responded yet.  Doesn't seem to be a problem with limitations with my provider, as I have gone into my admin settings to check.  But I'm probably missing something.

thanks for your help!

I just tried submitting and it does seem to work fine.

I guess the only open item to check are the mail log files of your provider, it seems that provided you haven't misconfigured the admin email settings of cforms, they're not relaying the emails…

I am having the same issue. I have tried native WP, the internal SMTP, and with Cimy Swift SMTP (which has the ability to send a test message so you know it works or not – cforms needs this). I have tried with the mail settings for my host provider (BlueHost) as well as with GMail using the cforms settings. Mail is never sent from cforms. I am at a loss as to what to do next. It would seem that cforms would use cimy swift smtp if that is what works with the rest of wp. What can I do to get this to work?

native WP

you mean PHP's mail() ?

the internal SMTP

you mean cforms' PHPMailer?

Mail is never sent from cforms.

most likely a config error. make sure you have set your admin and FROM: correctly as well as your SMTP settings on the global settings page (authentication etc.).

do you get any error?

mail server log files?

did you check the FAQs for hints as to what to look for?
