   I set up the guestbook. It is working properly, except I do not receive a mail notification when a new post is made.

   I tried both sendmail and SMTP.

   I contacted my web host and confirmed that the settings appear to be correct. I also followed the instructions in the FAQ to send mail from an account set up on the host. This did not work either.

   I am using POWWEB

   Please advise.

   Hi ddman

   The mail notification is using the sender address dmsguestbook@YOURDOMAIN.tld.

   Some web hoster don't allow sending a mail from a none registered local part: (dmsguestbook)

   Be sure you have register the e-mail address dmsguestbook@YOURDOMAIN.tld on your powweb admin tool, if this is necessary.

   Otherwise open dmsguestbook.php with an editor, go to the line 840 and replace DMSGuestbook with a local part which works at this moment: $mail->From = "DMSGuestbook@".$host;

   Greetings,
   Dani

   Yes, mine wouldn't work either so...

   You need to add 'dmsguestbook@yourdomain.com' as an email address to your server. Then it worked fine and will send a confirmation note to the email address you stated in the 'Email Notification' section. ;)
