If you can post the url so we can look at what you have done and check your code it would help.
First thing to check is your spam box on webmail you may well find the emails in there if thats were they are add NOT SPAM to your subject line on the form

If it's the Matt's Script Archive form that you're using, it's an invitation for Spambots to harvest your e-mail address.

I must have misunderstood your reply. Surely adding "NOT SPAM" to the subject line of an e-mail doesn't stop the e-mail being treated as spam. If so, why don't all spammers try this technique?
Edit - I've just realised that you probably suggested that so that the subject line would stand out in the list of junk e-mail. Wouldn't a better option be to white-list the From: e-mail address?

Re: form mail problem

For some reason when we have had the replies from webform that has gone into the spam box putting not spam stops it going into spam. I have tested this many times and it works on +net spam filters. I assume this down to it working out were it comes from

I do believe you, but it seems wrong to me. If it can work out where it came from, it shouldn't go into the spam folder in the first place.
