Not receiving form results via email

C

Christine

My webhost stated that the reason I am not receiving my
form results via email is because our company hosts our
own mail server. They say I need to add code to my form
that directs the mail to our mail server.

I don't know much of anything about writing code (and I
used FP's form wizard to create the form) so I don't know
where or how to insert the appropriate code.

(The confirmation page does appear when the form is
submitted and I don't get any errors. Our webhost does
have FPSE installed.)

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Your web host is wrong. He needs to enable the Forms to Email transport for your server account.
Then you need to set up an email account on the server for your domain / website.
If your web site is www.greatweb.com then you need to send the email to (e-mail address removed)

Because an email from a form is sent to a location on the server for your domain.

You then need to check the email at (e-mail address removed)

PS
Or set up an auto forwarder on the host server to send the mail from (e-mail address removed) to your mail server account(s)
