Occassionally some form submissions don't come through
Asked by awworkwise on February 08, 2012Page URL:Hi
We seem to be having a random problem of some submissions not coming through by email.
I don't think it would be a spam filter problem as it doesn't catch the ones that do come through.
Notifications go to the submitter as they ring to confirm as to whether we received their submission if they haven't had contact from us within 48 hours as stated on our thank you page.
The most recent form to have this problem is the one in the URL below.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Answered by liyam on February 09, 2012Hello,
Can you please provide us a sample submission in which you were not able to receive a notification? Currently, based on the logs, I don't see any bounce-backs that could have been a cause for your missing notifications.
May we ask as well if you have checked your spam folder or any folder in your case where your notifications might have landed?
Also, I have checked your email notification settings, one possible issue that I can find is that your email service provider might have blocked off some emails. or if you are using an email client software such as Eudora, MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or others, your notification might have landed in your web mail's spam folder that's why it was not downloaded by your email client software.
If you have checked all these possibilities and you still could not find your missing email notifications, you might need to contact your email service provider and ask if they have blocked notifications from JotForm's IP addresses. Here are the IP addresses used by JotForm:
174.34.57.214
174.34.57.216
174.34.57.218
174.34.57.219
208.117.50.251You might also want to ask your service provider to whitelist these IPs.
If you are still experiencing some issues even after whitelisting the IPs, please let us know.
Thanks.

Answered by ismoscadm on February 09, 2012This is the reason. Jotform decided to make some changes. They added this whole "noreply@jotform.com". After more than 2 months of absolutely no issues, it has become one.
This has NOTHING to do with our email servers. I have contacted yahoo and gmail. I have also check out our own inhouse email server. The issues falls on our friends at Jotform.
I have been instructed to "work around" the issues by using the "noreply@jotform.com" option that has magically appeared as an option in my form.

Answered by liyam on February 09, 2012Hello ismoscadm, the noreply@jotform.com has been there by default from the beginning. You might just have noticed it. So it's not a change.
If you're having issues with your form, please do start a new topic by posting and describing your issue on this link.
Thanks.

Answered by ismoscadm on February 09, 2012well it looks like magically this stopped working for many of us today.
It has caused loss of revenue, and frustration.
I purchased this service for multiple clients, each with their own account.. almost 20. Each of them need the return email field...
but today when everything stopped working I was simple told to do it this way "noreply".
and there must be a problem with the servers.
I wish there would be some admission and responsibility taken for this issue. Now I have to go to 20 different clients and explain to them that the service that was promised can not be delivered.

Answered by awworkwise on February 09, 2012Hi
I monitor the company spam filter and there has been no submissions caught there.
I have also checked the recipients Outlook folders and no missing submission there either.
We are running Exchange 2003 server but I have checked the webmail through our service provider and no emails are there either.
The majority of submissions come through to the recipient it is just occasionally one doesn’t come through.
Is it still worthwhile requesting a whitelist of the below IP’s as most don't get caught but still a problem for those that do?
Did you receive the sample submission in my email? I won't post the submission on the forum as there are personal details.
Thanks
Thanks for your help with this matter.

Answered by fxr on February 10, 2012Thanks for the additional details awworkwise. Appreciated.
Have you tried changing the Sender Email of your notifications to noreply@jotform.com ?
It will give your email notifications the maximum possible chance of reaching your inbox.

Answered by ismoscadm on February 10, 2012"maximum possible chance"??
are you kidding me? So there is no guarantee that your service will work like it say's?
