Can't get SparkPost to work with CF7

    I’m migrating from wpMandrill, and would really like to use Sparkpost.

    I’ve installed and tested the plugin, and it seems like everything is working well. It sends the tests (from inside the plugin) as well as native WP emails (like new user registrations), etc. just as expected.

    However, it does not play well with Contact Form 7. Whenever I try to submit, I get an error message saying the email has not been sent. The form submission is captured by CF7’s sister plugin, Flamingo, however (so it’s just the sending, not the submission, that fails).

    I’ve tried HTTP and SMTP, and get the same results with both.

    It works well when sending through WP’s own mailer function, and that’s what I’m doing for now, but historically, those emails find the spam filter a bit too often, so I’d like a better alternative, like Sparkpost if possible.

    The site is live, so I’d rather not shut everything down to diagnose the problem if it can be avoided. Has anyone else had this issue and/or have any ideas for how to debug and solve this smoothly?

    Do you’ve any relevant log about this issue. May be error_log (or similar) may have more information. I’ve used Contact Form 7 with SparkPost and it seemed to work without any issues (though I don’t have Flamingo installed). Can you try disabling it? If it’s your production site, you may try it in another installation.

    Thanks

    If you have any more info that would be great – we’ve got an open issue over on github for this where a user chimed in and got CF7 working:

    If you’re good to go would you mind marking as resolved? Thanks!

    Sorry for not replying. I don’t have a lot of time for diagnosis, trial and error on this client’s site.

    I’ve used both [email protected] and [email protected] as sender address (where example.com is the site domain, which is also verified in Sparkpost), with no luck.

    However, I think I have narrowed it down. It only seems to fail when I put a reply-to address (dynamic or set) in the additional headers field. I can’t figure out why, though.

    I strongly believe this issue is resolved. I could also use Reply To in Additional Headers field. Please re-open this issue or create an issue on https://github.com/SparkPost/wordpress-sparkpost/issues if you still face this.
