I've set up a WebSite Creator form to email results to my email address, but I'm not receiving the mail. How can I fix this

If you are using a spam filtering technology, the WebSite Creator mail was probably rejected by the filters. To ensure that this does not occur, add the sender wsc@cm4all.com to your whitelist.
