I have built a form using Breezing Form in Joomla, but when i submit it says unable to initiate mail function, anyone else encounter this problem, or know of any solution?

Hi,

Did you specify a recipient address in bf's main configuration and/or in the form settings?

I built the form and set it to mail back, i then entered a email and submited it gives the "unable to initiate mail function" but this error doesn't show up if its set to the sendmail option, but it does not send the email.

Try setting up your email settings in Joomla>Global Configuration >system >Mail Settings.
I had a similar problem and this solved it for me.

I have looked over the mail config but i don't know what the settings should be, what i've tried didn't work. What should the config be?

The settings are different for each web-server environment. You could ask your hosting company's helpdesk.

If it works with the standard contact form from Joomla you have made the right setup. If you still can't send from a BF form, you should come back here so we can focus on the settings in BF.

Here are my settings for my live site, a Linux server, using my site's e-mail account.
Code:


var $mailer = 'mail';
var $mailfrom = 'my e-mail adress';
var $fromname = 'Usually my name goes here';
var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
var $smtpauth = '0';
var $smtpuser = 'noneofyourbusiness';
var $smtppass = '';
var $smtphost = 'localhost';



This will very likely not work for you so check the helpdesk.

Kind regards,
