Hi guys and gals,
I have tested 2 contact forms on a live “test” site @ www.bfdesigns.co.uk/epctest and both forms submit data fine to my personal email account.
The other live version of this site at the correct domain is www.myhomepotential.co.uk, and for some unknown reason the “order EPC” form when submitted throws a “Could not find MX record for your domain” error on screen.
The script below is the only change I have made from routing the form data to my personal email addy for testing.
$mailto = 'benji-83@hotmail.com' ;
$subject = "New EPC Client enquiry from myhomepotential Website" ;
$formurl = "http://bfdesigns.co.uk/epctest/order_epc.html" ;
$orderThankyouurl = "http://bfdesigns.co.uk/epctest/orderThankyou.html" ;
$orderErrorurl = "http://bfdesigns.co.uk/epctest/orderError.html" ;
Where as the code I changed too for the correct domain to route all form data to the clients email address is as follows:
$mailto = 'sales@myhomepotential.co.uk' ;
$subject = "New EPC Client enquiry from myhomepotential Website" ;
$formurl = "http://myhomepotential.co.uk/order_epc.html" ;
$orderThankyouurl = "http://myhomepotential.co.uk/orderThankyou.html" ;
$orderErrorurl = "http://myhomepotential.co.uk/orderError.html"
I have attached a screen shot of the error thrown, but if anyone wishes to see it in the flesh visit: www.myhomepotential.co.uk/order_epc.html and submit the form.
The full form can be found here:

I have been battling back and forth with the clients host querying them over this, and all they could really say on the matter was, and I quote:
“we have checked through your code and can see that you have not set an SMTP server. You would need to set this as localhost within your code.”
I have tried setting the line that states:
$smtp_server_win = '' ;
TOO
$smtp_server_win = 'localhost' ;
But this does nothing either, so Im at a real loss now what to do or who to turn too…
I look forward to hearing from anybody on this matter.

Ben
