    Default Not Receiving Emails

    Everything was working fine, but over a month ago we decided to begin using Google to provide our email services for the company instead of our web host.

    I've now been notified that we are not receiving any form submissions. I've upgraded to the latest version and enabled logging and everything seems to be working correctly, but still no emails even though I am not receiving any errors.

    I went into the control panel for our hosting services and decided to check the my email just for kicks. I figured there wouldn't be any new emails since we no longer use the webhost to provide email services, but I found all of the test alert messages and other formmail alerts in the inbox.

    So I guess the formmail emails are going to the inbox on my web server even though the MX records on the domain are set to use Gmail. Anyone know how this can be fixed?

    Formmail needs to be told what email address(s) to send email to. It doesn't look up MX records as far as I know.

    Yeah I know the script doesn't look at MX records but I figured the server would before it sends the email but apparently it doesn't from what I can tell. Anyways, I think enabling the PEAR settings will fix the problem and I can just tell the script to use the GMail SMTP server.
