I usually find a lot of gotchas, but this was a pleasant surprise. It worked well and was easy to use. I rarely leave reviews, but they kept asking to, and they deserve it for a “Job well done.” Thank you.

I reverted back to a previous version of backwpup (from backup) and the error went away. This certainly looks like a bug in the 3.2.4 update. If you have not updated yet, don’t.

I found a partial solution. I installed WP-Mail-SMTP Version 0.9.1 | By Callum Macdonald.

Instead of using php, I used SMTP. I did NOT use the secure server as recommended by GoDaddy, instead I use SMTP and used my login and password as authentication. Here are the settings that I used:

SMTP Host: smtpout.secureserver.net
SMTP Port: 80
No encryption
Yes: Use SMTP authentication
Username: [email protected]
Password: xxxx

With this setup, contact form 7 now was able to send email again. I’m convinced there’s a problem on GoDaddy’s side of the issue, but switchint to SMTP seems to be a workaround for now.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

If anyone gets regular php mail to work again. let us know; otherwise, I’m considering this case closed for now. Thanks!

Hi Andrew, I am having the exact same problem with Contact Form 7 and goDaddy as the original poster. I was providing additional debugging info I tried with WP-mail. I can repost if you still think it’s appropriate.

I’m stumpped, but think the “message dropped for spam or virus content” is related. Unfortunately, Godaddy won’t help…

Interesting note: I can use the same contact form successfully on my main godaddy account, but not my “aliased” hosting account. Perhaps this is a clue.

Since I’m not using Digital Access Pass like chrisCobb, I still have the same problem as the original poster.

I’ve been fighting this for days now… What plugin was conflicting?
I’ve also used the WP Mail SMTP WordPress plugin to try test messages with no luck.
Setting I’m using are:
– send all wordpress eamils via SMTP
– relay-hosting.secureserver.net-
– port 25
– no encryption
– no: do not use SMTP authentication.
the email I’m sending from is one that godaddy hosts.

When I send the test message, I get this at then:
1) The result was: bool(true) (Meaning it sent the message – I think)
…
2) SMTP -> FROM SERVER:250 2LdE1k0081oydmY01:4GH:Message dropped for spam or virus content

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get help from GoDaddy – they “see” the counts increase with each message sent, but they do not have access to the email server for specific info.
They don’t seem to be able to help when I don’t have a “bounced” message to show them. My messages just go into the server and nothing ever comes out…
