Why did I receive a form submission but no email notification?
A saved submission can succeed even when outbound email has a separate delivery problem.

Separate the two systems
- Confirm the submission exists in administration.
- Check the form notification address.
- Review the site SMTP or outbound-email settings.
- Check spam and provider logs.
- Send a normal site test email if that tool is available.
SMTP is the service that sends site email. A form does not need to lose the customer's response merely because email delivery failed.
