Emails sent from a form on your website must follow these simple rules. Example email address used is jim@apexhost.net.au this is replaced with the email address you create.

1.. The from address must match the SMTP auth details. This means if you use jim@apexhost.net.au as your login then the email must come from jim@apexhost.net.au
