Using File Manager to edit the configuration file

  1. Go to your control panel, and click the File Manager icon.
  2. When the File Manager screen loads, type .FormMail.conf in the text area to the left of Create/Edit file, then click Create/Edit file.
  3. Select the provided text of the configuration file with your mouse, right-click, and choose copy.
  4. When the page loads, right-click your mouse and select paste. (If the file is not empty, you already have a configuration file, and can skip this step.)
  5. Scroll through the text of the configuration file, and update the values to suit your needs. At the very least, you will need to enter your domain name (without the www.) in between the allow_mail_to lines, and put your email address in between the postmaster lines.
  6. Once your changes have been made, click Save.

Now, you can send email via forms in your html files to any email address set up on your domain. If you would like to send email to other addresses other than ones set up on your domain, simply add the email addresses in between the allow_mail_to lines of your configuration file.

There is more detailed information explaining this in the actual configuration file. Read over it and if you have any questions, please contact support for assistance.)

Note: Although you will not be able to see your configuration file in the File Manager, it is there. Because it begins with a 'dot' (.), it is considered hidden. You can always access it simply by typing the name in the text area manually. This configuration file contains more detailed information concerning allow_mail_to.
