Update- realized that the email function for "contact" doesn't work as well. Looks like emails generated by b2 don't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good luck

afwas,

thanks for the link. i didn't implement your suggestion just yet but I did find the problem thanks to your first paragraph. i realized it's a google aps vs email from the webhost thing. when i signed up for google aps, i reset the mx to direct to google and deleted the email account i had through my own host because it would have been redundant. when i did this, it effectively disabled emailing from b2. of course, the google aps email does work for everything except b2. so i just recreated the very same email account (bringing back the redundancy) that i use for b2 on my own host and gave a forwarding address for it. this then solves (at least temporarily) the emailing through b2 issue. i also realized that it doesn't, in any, affect the google aps email of the very same address...weird....

i assume that if i want my b2 to work w/ google, i would have to change the code to direct to google. not sure i want to mess w/ a relatively minor issue but wanted to post this for all to know just in case you're messing with google aps email on your domain.

thanks again.
