Hi @Sparkoids, RapidWeaver’s built-in Contact Form page does not offer the ability to send mail via SMTP authentication. Please take a look at our troubleshooting tips for the Contact Form page below to see if any of those resolve the issue you are having. > **[Contact Form | Classic Manual](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/classic-docs/getting-started/page-types/contact-form#troubleshooting-contact-form-deliverability-issues)** > > Receive email messages from your website visitors via RapidWeaver's built-in Contact Form Let us know how you get on. ---

Hi @Sparkoids, The PHP code supplied on that page (second link you post) is meant for people who code their own websites in a language called PHP, not for sites designed by a no-code solution like RapidWeaver. In theory you could insert this code into RapidWeaver, but it’s quite an advanced feature. However, if you did, the result would be zero, because as @differentdan already stated, Rapidweaver’s built-in form doesn’t support SMTP (so the code will have no effect). If you’re in need of a form that supports SMTP and RapidWeaver, then take a look at **[Formloom](https://www.yabdab.com/rapidweaver/formloom/)** ($50, Yabdab Software). You won’t need the code supplied by Dreamhost for this solution to work. Cheers, Erwin ---

You shouldn’t need to do that “PHP thing” if your Formsnap 4 is set up properly. If I had to guess with the limited information you’ve given of “form not working”, I would say: 1. You’ve got your mail settings incorrectly entered into Formsnap 4 2. You haven’t set up your SPF and DKIM records correctly for your email domain. 3. There is some other block happening on Dreamhost’s servers that they haven’t told you about yet. If you’re available on Friday we have an [Office Hours session](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/office-hours-june-21st-2024/43535) where we can try and help you troubleshoot this in real-time. This is a public session though. If you prefer a private one-on-one feel free to send me a direct message and we can get something scheduled. ---

Since your working Formsnap 4 I will pop in screenshot of the configuration settings for SMTP to Send email. This is not a PHP Coding thing, This is merely putting in some details the same as setting up an email client the the Hosting provider provides. If you dont know what these details are from your hosting provider you will need to contact the hosting provider because every hosting provider on the net is different. ![Screenshot 2024-06-21 at 12.25.58](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/5/d56fb780c698ef772aca31b82faa23ebee96601b.jpeg) ---
