Some email addresses work, some do not?

  • Hello,

    I am having a strange issue with CF7 2.4.5. The formdata isn’t being sent to my client email addresses (their business nor private email address doesn’t work, except for their gmail address).

    But when i use my own email addresses i do get the email message with formdata.

    What could be the problem and how can i fix this?

  • It’s not that strange. It’s a relatively common issue. Depends on your WordPress hosting.

    Though the plugin successfully sends millions of emails every day, there are a host of issues that can delay or stop emails on both the sending and receiving ends of a typical email. It depends entirely on your local configuration.

    You will need to investigate this issue for your particular local configuration.

    Also current version of CF7 is 3.4.2. so you are well out of date.

    Buzztone – that’s a great resource you’re written!

    DDT – I’ve been having a similar issue… some emails getting through, some not. For *ME*, it’s turned out to be on-domain emails that don’t work & anything that has to go off-domain gets through OK. eg if the client’s site was https://clientsite.com then [email protected] would fail but [email protected] would work.

    It sounds like your problem, like mine, probably isn’t with CF7 itself, but with something to do with the email server.

    If you’re comfortable with a little PHP, Example #2 in the PHP mail() documentation at https://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php is a good starting point for testing things out. By putting your own emails in that script you can check whether or not they work outside of CF7 and determine whether the problem is in the mailing functionality or in the plugin.

    [OK, there’s also technically a small chance it’s in WP’s internal mail handling as CF7 calls wp_mail() which does quite a lot of manipulation, but at least if the Example PHP script fails then you know it’s something to do with the server and not the PHP]
