Blocs 4 form SMTP setup

[flips]

Just a suggestion, you could use the Tectite Formmail Script with your blocs created forms. To make the forms work you will have to add a couple of hidden fields to your forms and then send them to the script which you host on your server. There are setting within the script for setting up SMTP as an alternative to the standard PHP mail. Full information on how to configure the script is available on their website. The script is free, but for a small fee, they will configure it for you.

Thanks, Tectite is already on my radar from the other topics here where it was mentioned.
My main purpose right now, is to get an understanding of how to do it all myself using default Blocs and PHPmailer. I really want the default Bootstrap Sent/Failed message integrated just above or below the form, so I guess I should read up on the the Bootstrap 5 docs or something.

@rmf I’d try to dig up the PHP logs (often available in the panel, otherwise ask support). Some hosts will not support using PHP mail() at all. (I do wish for Blocs to include SMTP support, but that’s already mentioned in the wishlist topic.)
