Cant figure this out for the life of me.

Created a test form.
Results are sent to my AOL address
Put [Email] in both the "from" and "reply to" settings
Tested the form putting in an email address on one of my domains.
Works perfectly and comes through to my AOL email account.

Tested same form but used an AOL address on the form and nothing comes through.

Edited the form and removed the [Email] from reply to section tested again using an AOL email in form and then it comes through.

Any ideas?

It's probably because the form is not hosted on AOL.
What domain is it hosted on?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have it hosted on my vps under one of my domains disneytrivia.net
Like i said though.... form works fine and comes into my AOL inbox until I use an AOL address when filling out the form and putting [Email] in the "from field" in settings

Did you check your spam folder?;) I use my aol email on several of my forms when testing and it always works.

Sorry just saw your message. I just created 2 test forms. The first one has [Email} in both the reply to and from fields (This is the one that will not send the data if an AOL address is used when filling out the form.

It is located at http://www.disneytrivia.net/test1.php
The second one just has [Email] in the reply to field and it seems to work when an AOL address is put in.

It is located at http://www.disneytrivia.net/test2.php

I just tested them both..... they both send data if I use an email address when filling out the form that is Not AOL But if I put an AOL address in the email field on the form the first one sends no email.

I just tested and didn't get an email from either one. I also tried my coffeecup email address and that one failed.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I received the form data x2 - both for Test Form 2 that you did using AOL address and coffee cup address. But nothing from test form 1

So this seems to be a sever issue. You may want to open a support topic and see if the CC gurus can point you in the correct direction.
