The email is not sending

  • I have used your plugin for years and love it! However, the past two months, I have tried it on a few sites and can not seem to get the plugin to email the form data, no matter what I do! It is not stuck in spam or anything. No error message either. I have read the forum post on this same issue, but most seem to be from two years ago. Is there a current fix? Thanks so much! I actually wrote in earlier, but when I searched for a solution, it sent me back to fill out another comment! Confused!!

  • webdevCNC, it looks like we are having the same problem, or are at least in the same circumstance. The contact for gives success messages when filled out and sent, but there is nothing in the e-mail inbox or spam for the account to which it is sent. I’ve tried fixes recommended on old forums, but none of them have worked so far. I’ve read the suggestions as well on the Contact Form 7 website, but haven’t had success so far. Hoping for a solution.

    Alright, so my contact form is working now.
    I learned that the reason problem wasn’t with the Contact Form 7. The form was sending just fine, but the e-mail service (whether gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) essentially blocked the e-mail from every coming to the account. This is why it didn’t even show up in spam. The reason why it was being blocked is because the e-mail claimed to be coming from one server when it was really coming from an entirely different server – due to this, it was flagged as suspicious (hackers apparently do the same thing). The two different servers involved are (1) the server used by the person filling out the contact form, and (2) the server for your website.

    Anyway, I found a plugin which clears that up and authenticates your e-mails so that the e-mail services don’t flag it. Once I configured this plugin everything started working perfectly. It is called Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log. You can either search from your dashboard, or go to this link:

    One more thing… this plugin gives you two options for authentication. For one of them you have to sign up for a special service, but the other you just use your a username and password. I did the latter and it worked just fine.

    Hope this helps.
