I am having soom weird problems with my forms, even basic forms, source or by myself, I find that on submit the page does exactly as it is told, and all appears to be sailing. However My email account does not get the email.

I am so puzzled I have hit a dead end on this one. Can this be a problem, and is there a solution. Normal mail comes through fine, but just through the form, and everything looks perfect.

Please if anyone can shed light on a solution or ideas I would be greatful for your help

1) Which mail form COM object are you using? CDOmail, ASPmail, something else?

2) The sender or recipient address probably needs to be from the same domain as the site the form is located on. This is a security setting on the mail server to prevent relaying of spam.

Thanks for that! - of course, I wondered why it worked fine in work but not at home, thanks for answering my question Abzoid.

Although sometimes it has actually slipped through on the odd occassion.
