Freeform mail unauthorized error

By the way, I’ve tested this at work and at home so it’s not a firewall issue.

Has anyone had this problem (without a firewall)?

Can you successfully send mail via the Communicate tab?

Hi Sue,

I sure can, just not with FF.

This is what I found when searching for the error message:

Thread

Does this help?

Yeah, I saw that… I just did a new ee install and didn’t realize that that module was installed with my new setup. I’ll double check to see if FF does it again and let you know. Thanks.

Hi Sue,

It’s sending. However…

I’m having an issue with the FF output. This is what I get:

Someone has posted to Freeform. Here are the details:

Entry Date: 2007-03-23 12:29 PM Form Name: contest Name: Email: [email protected]

None of the other required fields show up.

Do you have suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Ah, since the basic EE mails work but not FreeForm, I’m going to pop this over to the Modules forum, since it’s about a third-party module.

I’m still getting the same output. Any ideas?

I’m getting the same error message on some – not all – Freeform entries. The common denominator for me is that the users are all on AOL.

I didn’t have the blacklist module enabled when the problem occurred (it is now; I hope the problem doesn’t get worse.)

imawake, when you send out the reply, which template are you using?

Peter, have you tried turning off Secure Forms?

Peter, have you tried turning off Secure Forms?

No, I hadn’t. Sounds worth trying, thanks! I’ve switched that off now. Hopefully with the blacklist on and trackbacks off, there won’t be too much effect in other areas.

Tangentially, has anyone else noted that the control panel admin area search function is often unhelpful – I did a search for “secure” and it came up with no results. :(

Hi Sue,

Here is my code:

{exp:freeform:form form_name="Contest" required="firstname,lastname,address,email,phone,location,acceptterms" notify="[email protected]" return="http://www.mysite.com/"}
<label for="firstname">First Name</label>

<input type="text" id="first" name="firstname" value="" size="30" />

<label for="lastname">Last Name</label>

<input type="text" id="last" name="lastname" value="" size="30"  />

<label for="address">Address</label>

<textarea name="address" id="address" rows='5' value="" cols='24' /></textarea>

<label for="email">Email</label>

<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" size="30" />

<label for="phone">Phone</label>

<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" value="" size="30" />

<label for="location">Location</label>

<textarea name="location" id="location" rows='8' cols='50'  /></textarea>

<label for="contestrules">Contest Rules</label>

<textarea name="rules" id="rules" rows='8' cols='50' readonly />
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
</textarea>

<input type="checkbox" id="acceptterms" name="acceptterms" />  <label for="acceptterms">I agree to the contest rules</label>


<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />

{/exp:freeform:form}

Thanks for all help.

Was there a resolution to this?
