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. Leave the sender IP with asterisks in every field (to whitelist it from every IP address). For more information about whitelisting, click here.
