It seems that you provider has either restricted you from using PHP's mail() function or mail() is broken. Two things you can do:

  1. Check with you provider and ask about the above
  2. Configure cforms SMTP feature to connect to different SMTP mail server for email delivery

the general question is, how does your blog send emails today?

do you have have an SMTP plugin running or do your use Wordpress 'as-is' and do you in fact receive emails from WP (moderation, password reset etc)? This is you first need to test.

If the answer to…

  • Wordpress 'as-is'
  • do you in fact receive emails

…is yes, then you can use cforms standard mail service (make sure to disable SMTP support on the cforms Global Settings page)

If not, you can configure cforms (enabling the SMTP feature) to talk to a SMTP server -> check with your provider on the proper settings for this feature.

I use wordpress as-is and I have received emails for password resets, for example.

I confirmed that on CformsII->global settings->SMTP Server Settings, alll is disabled.

OMG, I just figured it out, how embarrasing, my subject read "a comment from {your name}. I changed {your name} with a literal value and now it is working.

Thank you for coming back to me!
