Ultimate Formmail Error - Any Hints?

[shoister]

I'm getting the following error on form submit using Ultimate FormMail v. 2.5.1:

 

Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: connect_host

 

At the script forum, it looks like there may be two strategies to address this:

 

1) editing this line

$set['email_type'] = '2';/*1=smtp, 2=mail(), 3=qmail, 4=sendmail*/

comment from coder:

Different resources on your server that may or may not be available to send email. Your smtp resources apparently aren't available, or require you to enter authentication information from your host. Which one is unclear.

 

2) or TCH intervening in this area:

suggestion from coder:

Either the server isn't set up to send email from a script or the username, password, and host info is incorrect.

Have you contacted the hosting co to ask about what is required to send email through their server from a script?

 

Has this problem occurred for others? Any guidance appreciated!

 

best,

I use UFM and haven't noticed any problems. It appears from your answer that you have been on the author's site for assistance. Hang on...hopefully someone here will be along who may have other suggestions.

 

And welcome to the forums!

I have never had a problem with UFM either. Was this ever working for you?

I have been asked not to discuss Ultimate Form Mail in any manner that would appear to violate the TCH forum rules (self-promotion for financial gain). Although this is support related, I believe my own support forums are a faster way to get an answer from me and a more appropriate venue.

 

I am most happy to help you in any way that I can. I provide quick, hands-on help... but not here.

Thanks TCH and Surefire. I'll move over the UFM forum to resolve, and then post my solution here for future TCH customers.

Thanks, Steve - good to know. Would you be willing to share the url of your UFM page so I can check to see if the structure of my form is correct?

 

I'm working on UFM's support sight to check my implementation of the php file itself.

 

best,
