    Hi, is this for the BTS form? She was having problems getting the notifications through which is why I had to change it to SMTP. Please could you provide some instructions so I can avoid the error. Thank you.
    Best Wishes,

    Hi thanks for this. No, she was not receiving them as her email kept getting put on the bounce list. So she kept having to take it off. So I switched the notifications to go out via SMTP and followed the Jot Form instructions on how to do this. https://www.jotform.com/help/244-How-to-Setup-SMTP-for-a-Form

    It seemed to work really well. Then I got an email from Jot form saying there was an error so it was reset to noreply@jotform instead. Which is probably why her email address gets put into the bounce list. It's frustrating because I followed the instructions and the hosting company said it was going through their servers just fine. The jot form email did not say what the error was so I couldn't even fix it. Basically the form notifications need to reach her and her email should not be going into the bounce list. Thanks.

    I checked the email logs for your account and did not see any recent failed or bounced emails.  What form are you having trouble with and which address is not receiving the emails?  Let us know what you can and we will look into this further.

    It is the form 778035. I switched the notifications to go out via SMTP and followed the Jot Form instructions on how to do this. https://www.jotform.com/help/244-How-to-Setup-SMTP-for-a-Form

    The reason I changed it was because her email kept getting put into the bounce list and Jot form suggested changing it to SMTP which I did.

    I checked for a form with the ID 778035 and was unable to find one.  What address is it you are having trouble with?  I see a hotmail address in your account history and if that is the one causing trouble it is likely due to filtering.  Hotmail tends to reject emails quite frequently and I would recommend they use a different service like GMail.  Let us know what you can and we will look into this further.

    As for SMTP issue, sending addresses are only defaulted back to noreply@jotform when emails fail from the SMTP address.  This is usually due to server issues or incorrect settings.
