    I have an email address that I have set up on a form and that email address is not receiving the form submissions. Can you please assist?

    They are with these three forms:

    York County Arts Commission Final Report Fiscal Year 2025

    York County Arts Commission - Challenge Grant FY2026

    York County Arts Commission - Project Grant FY26

    The email address not receiving them is sippiom@yorkcounty.gov.


    Thank you,

    Hi JoAnn,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I've checked the email address you have provided and found it on the bounce list for the reason below:

    Reason(s) : bounced (host d42044a.ess.barracudanetworks.com[209.222.82.253] said: 550 permanent failure for one or more recipients (sippiom@yorkcounty.gov:blocked) (in reply to end of DATA command))

    A bounce list is a list to which an email address is added when an email can't be delivered. It could be due to a non-existent/inactive email address, your mail server being unavailable, your email server has rejected the emails due to suspected spam, your mailbox being full or Jotform being on your blacklist.

    I've gone ahead a removed it from the list. To avoid this issue, I suggest contacting your email service provider and request whitelisting Jotform IP Addresses and Domains in their web/email host. I also suggest setting up SMTP. Let me walk you through this:

    1. On your My Forms page, hover over your Avatar/Profile in the upper right corner of the page.
    2. Select Settings.Email notification is not being sent Screenshot 40 Screenshot 20 Screenshot 41 Screenshot 31 Screenshot 10
    3. Select Settings from the left side window.
    4. Click on the Add Sender Email button.I never received anything in the email Image 2 Screenshot 52 Screenshot 42 Screenshot 21
    5. Select Custom.
    6. Click on the Continue button.Email notification is not being sent Screenshot 62 Screenshot 42 Screenshot 63 Screenshot 53 Screenshot 32
    7. Enter your SMTP details.
    • SMTP Account Username — Unless your hosting provider specifies a unique username, this should be your email address.
    • SMTP Account Password — Enter the password of the given SMTP Account.
    • Host Name — The hostname provided by your hosting provider.
    • Email Address — Your email address.
    • Password —The password for the given email address/username.
    • Security Protocol — Select TLS or SSL.
    • Port — Enter 587 for TSL or 465 for SSL

    8. Click on the Send Test Email button, to test if the SMTP works.
    9. If it works, click on the Save button.
