Form block not sending form submissions by email
Permalink
Hi all,
In my C5.5.2 setup the Form block does not send emails to me when someone submitted the form. I can see the messages in dashboard/reports/form results, but do not receive an email. I've tried different emailaddresses, to be sure the email is not blocked by a spamfilter.
Can it be a server-thingy?

Did you tick the box to enable email notifications in the form settings?
I did.

What does your logs say? ( dashboard/reports/logs )
Do you receive other emails from your c5 installation?
What SMTP settings do you have? ( /dashboard/system/mail/method/ )

Instead of using the default PHP Mail function, try to use gmail for SMTP with the settings you see in the attached image(assuming you have a gmail account).
By doing this we can determine if the problem is with your PHP mail().

Hi Adajad, that is working. I'm receiving email from our gmail-account.
So there is something wrong with out PHP mail().
Do you have a suggestion on how we can fix that?
(I'm allready very happy with it working for now!)

I would contact the host regarding this as they might have blocked the mail function (which seems stupid).
Thanx for your help Adajad. I will do that.

I am also experiencing this problem.
I have tried both the default PHP mail and SMTP methods. I have tried using several email addresses and 2 different SMTP servers including Gmal.
Yes i have ticked the "notify by email" option and the form results appear in Reports>Form results and Reports>Logs.
Is there a better way to test or debug the Form Block functionality?
I am running version 5.6.1.2.
EDIT:
Okay so i've got it working all sweet, but first a couple things i did before the final step may or may not be attributed to its success.
First i tried adding these lines into /config/site.php
What adding this to your site.php does is sets the default email address Concrete5 uses to send notification emails, forgotten password requests etc.
Now what i had also done at this point was setup an email account, same as i had used in my site.php.
Then in Dashboard>System & Settings>SMTP Method i am using external SMTP, i am authenticating using details of the account i set up earlier and in my site.php.
Still not working, but next is what i did to get it working.
In my hosting control panel through your hosting provider e.g. mine is cPanel, i went to MX Entry and set it to Automatic from Local Mail Exchanger.
When i set it to Remote Mail Exchanger which is what i tried first, i got all my emails Concrete had sent to me in my desktop mail client but could not send and receive with other email accounts on the same domain/host.
When i had it set on Local Mail Exchanger, i could send and receive emails like you would normally, however, nothing would come through from Concrete5.
So third time lucky, i tried Automatic and it worked.

Thanks! This worked for me.
Setting the Local Mail Exchanger to "Automatic" worked for me, too. For months I could not resolve this problem. Thanks!
