Recently my company's website was moved to another server, due to old server. The website is directing emails to mail2.domain.example (sent to Thunderbird). When the website was move to the other, the website is sending the emails to mail.domain.example.
I tried forwarding the emails but the Cpanel in the server won't let me as it is sending the emails inside the mail.domain.example only. Is there another way to send mail.domain.example to mail2.domain.example, the one who done it before has already left the company, so I was assigned to fix the problem.
I fix the problem by using SMTP (WP Mail SMTP) and updated my WordPress to the latest version. Works like a charm.
I realize the problem when I'm sending email using gmail, gmail sends the emails to mail2.domain.example, so I used the google SMTP to forward messages to mail2.

I am a newbie in using SendGrid. I have a web application that send a mail to users after the successful registration. I am using send grid to send mails.
It works fine when I try to send Google email accounts. But when I send mails to Outlook email addresses, it always failed to deliver emails.
I checked the SendGrid 'Activity' section it shows like below.
You might need to setup domain authentication. This link should be a good place to start: https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-domain-authentication/
Outlook might have different firewall rules blocking incoming (potentially malicious) emails while GMail might have a different set of them.
Using Contact Form 7 on Wordpress (or other contact plugins) it sends the email to the wrong email server.
A few months ago the non-profit I work for switched from the email integrated with BlueHost to G-Suite for non-profits. When someone fills out a form on our website though it sends to our old email server. So we miss any messages coming through our website. All other mail sends and receives correctly through Gmail. It is only mail sent from our Wordpress site. I have tried other form plugins and they have the same issue.
I have tried searching for a solution but I haven't been able to find answers. I assume it is an issue with Wordpress or Bluehost, but I don't know where to start.
Figured it out. The issue ended up being with the web host (even though they blamed CloudFlare). The mail DNS was setup properly through CloudFlare. However, since it hadn't been changed through BlueHost's DNS settings, it was still sending to the wrong mail server.
I have used default WordPress wp-mail functions to send mail notification
The issue is after submitting the forms or any other notification mail is received with some delay.
SMTP mail functionality also tried with wp-mail plugin but no improvement. what is this cause of delay of mail functions.
Note : There is any server dependency in mail functionality, because its little faster in our dev server then live server
I would recommend uses this wp smtp plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
In my opinion you have to set up properly the outgoing email address to receive the emails on time or avoid emails spam issue.

I am a WordPress developer since 3 years, I worked for

I worked for above 2 wordpress websites, I used contact from 7 ,but every time when a website visitor was sending email through contact form, it was going to spam folder. I used others plugin like fromcraft3 instead of contact from 7. That was sending email to spam folder too. Is that host gator server issue or subdomain issue?
Hostgator would most likely be the issue. Assumign you're on a shared hosting plan, someone else on the account is probably sending out spam via the server and got the IP address flagged for spam.
Try sending email using SMTP rather than using the php mail() function.
When sending gmail SMTP mail from Wordpress on a windows Azure website, something goes terribly wrong.
I managed to send once or twice a message, but mostly the authentication get's denied. And we get a lot of message of gmail, asking if we authenticated. Or if we are hacked.
Now the weird thing is that when i log in to the Gmail account on MY computer. Go to the following url and accept: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha .
it suddenly works (for some time, and only form my pc).
As the worpress website is hosted on a Windows azure website, we can not log in on the server to navigate to this url:https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha from there.
Anyone got a solution for this issue? (As i don't have RDP on our azure Website, we can't access the machine to whitelist the ip).
Reference: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10336?hl=en
You can try to generate an application-specific password for your gmail SMTP if you enable 2-step verification. That may help you to avoid manual CAPTCHA resolve.
I would still like to recommend SendGrid as you are using Azure. SendGrid is provided as an add-on in Azure. You can easily apply a SendGrid service and get 25,000 email per month for free.
