That said, I believe you CAN set up a mail server, but not sure it is easy to do. I think you need to set up "Mercury Email".

My form's are inside there and I need to get em out. I followed the advice of the existing posts and went to phpmyadmin and into the correct database that is loading from the config file. Went into ap_users and set a new password in user_password. It's just a plain text password and I hit save. It show's the password has been saved, but when I try to login it says wrong username/psswd @ the machform admin login. I refresh the page too. Am I suppose to encrypt the password in the var_255 field in the DB?</p> <p>Or is the password stored in one of the php files? I saw reference to this in the forum in seems like it's back in the 3.x days. </p> <p>When I click on the reset my password I get this message:</p> <p>Unable to send new password. Error message:</p> <p>Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_TransportException' with message 'Connection could not be established with host localhost [No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. #10061]' in C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\lib\swift-mailer\classes\Swift\Transport\StreamBuffer.php:259 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\lib\swift-mailer\classes\Swift\Transport\StreamBuffer.php(64): Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer-&gt;_establishSocketConnection() #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\lib\swift-mailer\classes\Swift\Transport\AbstractSmtpTransport.php(115): Swift_Transport_StreamBuffer-&gt;initialize(Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\lib\swift-mailer\classes\Swift\Mailer.php(80): Swift_Transport_AbstractSmtpTransport-&gt;start() #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\reset_password.php(99): Swift_Mailer-&gt;send(Object(Swift_Message)) #4 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\machform\lib\swift-mailer\classes\Swift\Transport\StreamBuffer.php on line 259</p> <p>I'm really under the gun and hoping someone can help me with this. </p>
