Oops, messed up the link but if you click Contact form info it will take you to the page where my contact for is.

Hi Iswebs! I’m not the plugin author but I thought I might just jump in and help out…

According to this post, you will want to chage the From field to this:

From: [email protected]

Since you already have the additional reply-to headers in place, that should do the trick.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I tried that before, and just tried it again now. It says it was sent successfully but I never receive the email.

@Iswebs – were you able to successfully get your form configured or do you need additional help?

@buzztone – seems I’m not the only nosy one around here! XD

@laura, funny you should ask this today!

After reading through the issues everyone else was having with their WordPress sites hosted on GoDaddy, I moved most of my sites to Siteground. Many of them use Contact Form 7 and everything worked great once I moved them.

Then came today! I set up a new website on Siteground, and guess what…my contact forms don’t work for that website. I tried both Contact Form 7 and Ninja Forms. When I hit submit, both of the forms say they send, but I never receive the emails. More research led me to installing a Postman SMTP plugin. (Tried a couple others, nothing seemed to work.) After much this and that, I got the forms to work, but now they’re hooked to my gmail account, not my clients, so I need to do some switching with that.

So I really don’t know why these forms worked with all my other sites, but suddenly not this one. It makes me want to go back and test the others to make sure they still work. Could be a conflict with the theme or another plugin? Shouldn’t this crap be easy? ??

@lori Schroeder – Mind Meld!

Most of the issues I have ever had with PHP mail sending from this plugin were resolved by simply changing the From: field in the contact form Mail tab to the same exact email address that was set up in the Settings > General tab of the wordpress installation (the same email you had to use when you set up the site with the wp-config).

The key here being that the email address is a valid email with a mailbox attached (not a forwarding address) and that the domain name matches the site that is generating the wordpress mail.

It seems nothing about sending bulk emails is ever 100% easy all the time… that a lot of factors with your domain setup may throw a kink in the works.

I wish I could answer your questions more directly, but since I can’t see how each site was configured, all I can do is make a general suggestion… but I’m glad you were able to work around the issue and get it running with the SMTP plugin.

Thanks for your help. One question – on one of the sites I’m designing, I have multiple forms, and I want each one to go to a different email address. If I made each of those email addresses and admin, do you think that would work?
