This page documents the DEF_ALERT configuration setting in FormMail.
Type Of Setting
DEF_ALERT is a RECOMMENDED setting, which means...
 |
RECOMMENDED |
you *should* change this setting. FormMail will work
with the default value, but you may lose functionality if you
don't modify this setting for your system.
|
NOTE: this setting is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you do not provide
a valid email address for alert messages, then FormMail cannot tell you about
errors or faults on your server.
Précis
Default alert address.
Description
Set DEF_ALERT to the email address that will be sent any alert
messages (such as errors) from FormMail.
If you're developing the form, then you should put your email address
in this value.
DEF_ALERT is
only used if an 'alert_to' field is not provided by the form.
If neither alert_to nor DEF_ALERT are provided, no alerts are sent.
DEF_ALERT can be any email address and it's independent of
the TARGET_EMAIL setting, whereas
an 'alert_to' field in the form must match the TARGET_EMAIL setting.
If you set DEF_ALERT, you can do some initial tests with your browser.
Just open this URL (replacing www.your-site.com with your domain name, of
course):
http://www.your-site.com/formmail.php?testalert=1
No value
Examples
define("DEF_ALERT","webmaster@yourhost.com");
