I want to get an email back when someone post in my guestbook.

In settings.php i did the following:

/* Send you an e-mail when a new entry is added? 1 = YES, 0 = NO */
$settings['notify']=1;

And:

/* Your e-mail. Only required if $settings['notify'] is set to 1 */
$settings['admin_email']="myemail@mail.nl";

but i get no email when someone post something.
What do i wrong?
I use version 1.35
And ofcourse it's a fake mailadres.

Hi,

GBook uses standard PHP mail() command to send out e-mails. How that command is configured and what restrictions it has is in the hands of your hosting company. There are a few possible problems:

1. your hosting company disabled mail() command in PHP

2. your hosting company hasn't got mail() configured properly

3. some hosts only allow sending mail from scripts to local domains. So if your GBook is installed on www.YOURDOMAIN.com try using some address from that domain, for example info@YOURDOMAIN.com


I suggest you try N.3 first, if that doesn't work contact your hosting company and ask what is wrong with PHP mail() command.

Regards
