HTMLTemplate screws FormMail Process

[darkorder90]

Hi there, I brought the wizard to set the form up for me as I was new to this, however by the end of getting it all to work how I want I'm not too shabby with this stuff now but I'd just like to comment on how great the form is. Anyway, my problem:

With no HTML Template:

. Email sends from the email address I want
. With the subject name I want
. Avoids the Junk Mail
. No Errors, 100% perfect.

With very simple HTML Template:

. Email sends from the email filled out on the form
. No Subject name
. Straight to Junk Mail
. However the HTML template works nicely and all info is displayed as told.

The HTML Template basically ignores all of my hidden fields which are:

            <input type="hidden" name="replyto" value="myemail@domain.com" /> 
            <input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="test.html" />
            <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="myemail@domain.com" />
            <input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=Mail@domain.com" />
            <input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="HTMLTemplate=frmsubmit.html" />

I've read several pages of people having issues with the email problem just not with using a template. Just to clarify - if someone puts their email in a form then the email will send to me from their email followed by my host.

Thanks in advance,
Ben.

You have 2 separate mail_options tags, when you should have just 1 with additional settings separated by a comma, so it's ignoring the FromAddr setting. Put them together and it should solve your problem.

I don't see a hidden field for "Subject".

Also, you need to set TemplateMissing in your mail_options tag if there are any fields that can be left blank.

Hi again, thanks for the info, cleared it all up and works great. However I feel I'm at the end of my struggle with one more issue:

As soon as I change the email address of which the form sends to, unless it's my email address, everytime I will get the error:
no_valid_recipients

I know this is one of the most common issues here but I've tried everything I could find, nothing seems to make it work.

My Test page is http://www.purelyred.com/test2/test.html
the Formmail script is at: http://www.purelyred.com/REDMail.php
-----------------
It's so weird that only my email address works. Trying to put anyone elses email instead of mine just fails with the same invalid error.

What does your $TARGET_EMAIL setting look like?

What does your $TARGET_EMAIL setting look like?

$TARGET_EMAIL = array("^ben_jenn1ngs@windowslive\.com$");

That works but soon as I change it to any other email i.e

$TARGET_EMAIL = array("^collision@hotmail\.com$");

It stops working. Naturally I changed the form/html accordingly to match the TARGET_EMAIL but no luck.
