   We do not run sendmail on our box but instead require all web apps to login to our SMTP server. How can I set this up in MachForm?

   Also, I woudl like to put an extension field next to the phone number field, but don't see this option?

   Hello,

   To use an external email server, you will need to modify your includes/helper-functions.php file.

   Around line 437, you'll find this code:

   $mail->Host = "127.0.0.1";
   
   Simply change the value to your external mail server. If your server requires authentication, additional lines need to be added, something like below:

   $mail->Host     = "127.0.0.1";
   $mail->Username = "your_username";
   $mail->Password = "your_password";
   $mail->SMTPAuth = true;

   
   Regarding the extension field for the phone number, I'm afraid we don't have that option yet, sorry.

   I see the line you refer to and have added these fields. Do I need to change the value of the following line:

   $mail->Mailer = "mail";

   Try leaving it that way. If it doesn't work for you, change it to this:

   $mail->Mailer = "smtp";

   i left it as is and the form worked but I didn't get any emails.

   I changed it to smtp, and now the form doesn't show a confirmation. the page says 'done' loading with only this URL

   .../view.php

   one more thing. i had this problem with another web app. i had to refer to phpmailer instead of mail. not sure what the syntax would be for your app, though...

   Hmm..I think I'll need to check your server directly for this.
   I've just sent you an email, let's continue there.
