[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Mail (2) is Not Working

  • The Mail (2) option is not sending a confirmation email that I have set up to send. What’s strange is that if I add a Bcc: or Cc: to the Additional Headers field, the message will appear. Otherwise, it disappears into oblivion.

    It turns out that my server requires SMTP authentication. I have set up SMTP authentication and the first email sends perfectly, but now it is not sending the confirmation email that is set to send via the Mail (2) function.

    I feel like I’m missing some critical step here to make this functional. Please advise.

    Okay, so I think I figured this out. Angled brackets are being added around the entire “To:” field before sending it. If you put [your-name] <[your-email]> as your “To:” field when setting up your form, the “To:” field in the email will become To: <Your Name <[email protected]>>, resulting in a SMTP failure. The fix is to just put [your-email] in the “To:” field during form set-up.

    Of course, I’m not sure if Contact Form 7 or WP Mail SMTP is causing this error, so take it for what it’s worth.

    PS. My host is Network Redux, FYI.
