    Hi marketingmog,

    I checked one of the email address where the Autoresponder email was supposed to be sent and found it on the bounce list for the reason below:

    Reason(s) : bounced (host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[192.178.130.26] said: 550-5.7.26 Your email has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.7.26  550-5.7.26  Authentication results: 550-5.7.26  DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.26  SPF [martorelloffice.com] with ip: [152.160.247.24] = did not pass 550-5.7.26  550-5.7.26  For instructions on setting up authentication, go to 550 5.7.26  https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication 3f1490d57ef6-e57ab513938si8126983276.236 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command))

    I've gone ahead and remove it on the bounce list. To avoid bounced email, I suggest setting up your own email address as the sender email by setting up SMTP. Let me walk you through this:

    1. Go to the Settings page while logged in to your Jotform account and click on Add Sender Email in the Sender Emails section.
