[Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Not sending email

I’m getting the same issue. No email being sent despite normal wordpress emails coming through. I also tried smtp through gmail to no avail…

Ive tried to, I even changed my contact plugin several times. There must be a bug. I tried to change my admin email because its not receiving emails and it wont work either.

I found what was causing the “error” for me; when my gmail account gets the message (whether it’s direct or forwarded to the gmail account) it gets thrown into spam. So the function is working, but gmail doesn’t like it.

I created a filter in my gmail settings so it never gets marked as spam, and now it always gets to my inbox.

Hope this helps others!

Mine is having emailing issues too… but I can’t find it in either spam or trash. :/

Same issue here

My user registration is using the default phpmail successfully putting the “Mailed By” header as my domain name. These emails show up in gmail because the mailer is the same domain as where it is sent from.

However using the Custom Contact Form, the mail is tagged as SPAM because it finds the SERVER ROOT mailer instead — and since i’m virtually hosted, as are all my clients, I would prefer if this wonderful feature-rich contact form would allow me the option to use the default phpmail, so that each domain’s contact forms could come to them without making special filters in their Gmail.

My host is HostGator, and the contact form in my customized Elegant Theme theme apparently uses default phpmail, and works perfectly. So it’s not WP, or the host, or PHP.ini, or the mail, it’s Custom Contact Form’s method of finding a mailer.

To see which mailer your site is using with this form, send a form to yourself and view the headers in GMail. Look for the little arrow next to the to name, click it to see the detail headers, and look for “Mailed by:” — When your domain matches, it won’t be tagged as spam.

I can’t find the code or function that pulls in the server root mailer, I’d be happy to discover it and attempt to alter it to be able to keep my awesome forms created with Custom Contact Form!
