I have an Umbraco website with a contact form that when submitted should send an email to a specified email address. It works fine when the 'to email' is on the same domain as the from email. However it throws this error when the 'to email' is on a different domain:
I was just wondering if there is something within Umbraco that I need to do to enable this.
I don't believe this is an umbraco issue.
You either have some kind of firewall on your mail server to intercept it (spam filter), or you might need to use another port.
Need more information about your mail setup if I am to help you more

Experiencing issue with WP plugin, contact form 7. When I fill in the form and submit, I receive a success message stating it was sent yet I don't receive it in my emails.
The mail is not in my junk and I only received the message in my email when I input the email its being send to!?
The email it is going to is an exchange account. I can see the emails coming through using a contact form submission on the WP backend. But would like to resolve this issue.

I also checked with website host that they use wp_mail() and was confirmed they do. As other contact forms send - bar this one.
Try setting the from: email address to wordpress#yourdomain.com. Contact Form 7 support recommends setting the from address as being on your own domain, so that the website's mailer program doesn't think it is spoofing the email being sent (sending it from an incorrect email address).
If that doesn't work, best to use a plugin like WP Mail SMTP Plugin.
I set it up to send contact form emails through our Gmail account, which worked well. Instructions here.
SMTP Plugins are a Band-aid Solution
The reason people use SMTP plugins is because they have not set up their own domains properly; so, they route their emails through their email hosting company under the expectation that THEIR domain is both set up properly and permissive enough to accept the email that needs to be forwarded. So, let's say your website is at example#mywebsite.com and your email is example#gmail.com, then you can use an SMTP plugin to send an email to gmail.com, and then gmail resends it on your behalf.
As you can see, this is a clunky work around, and does not actually fix the problem of not being able to send email from your website directly. There are a few use cases where this is a problem:
If you want to actually send the email from example#mywebsite.com and not expose your example#gmail.com address to the public.
If your email provider does not support SMTP.
Some anti-spam tools may block emails routed this way, because SMTP can be a sign of spoofing through a hacked account. This almost always leads to problems when using the Mail(2) feature to send confirmation emails to the client since you are pretty much guaranteed that some of them will use spam filters that will block it.
You may also need to send emails through other means (not contact form 7) that does not work with your SMTP plugin.
A Better Solution
The best way to fix deliverability issues to to set up your DKIM, SPF, and PTR records properly in your DNS.
If you are using cPanel as most hosting companies seem to do these days, you need to go to EMAIL > Email Deliverability and it will show you warnings if you need to update your DNS. If you do, just copy the records it auto generates into your Domain's DNS and this should fix the problem. Unlike trying to route through someone else's server to send emails, this will set up YOUR server to send them properly thus alleviating all of the above mentioned issues.
This is just as easy to set up as most SMTP plugins, and makes it so you don't have to clutter your WordPress install with unnecessary plugins.
If you do not have cPanel access, just contact your Domain Hosting provider and ask that they setup your DKIM, SPF, and PTR. If your Domain Hosting provider and your Web Hosting provider are two different companies, you may need to request the proper DNS records from your web hosting company to either put in your self or give to your domain hosting company.
when I have a problem about wp contact form I always solve that with using smtp plugin. I suggest you to use wp smtp mail plugin.
Easy SMTP WP plugin page on wordpress.org
If any problem after using smtp plugin, reply this post I will try to help you again.
I have this problem in my website.
Some hosting companies block automatic email sending, because some user uses the host for sending email marketing. So, I think you can contact your host provider to solve this problem.
I 'm trying to fix a problem here in a wordpress eviremont which I'm also new to. I want to get a form running but it isn't sending emails. Currently I'm using Caldera Forms with the WordPress email system. What I want to do is that everytime somebody applies a form, I want to get a email with the content of the form and the user who applied to the form should get a normal autoresponder email. I think this should work without any email plugin or something else, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to fix a probleme here on a wordpress site which crashed after too many people visited this page. Now, the email system espacially the send and receive a email if somebody applied on a form, is not working anymore.. As mentinoed, I don't think that you need a email plugin to do that. I'm right?
Further, the emails get hostet by CrazyDomains. If I use the webmailer, I can receive and send emails from the emails on CrazyDomains.
Where could be the problem?
A plugin called Postman SMTP generates a log which also logs the form emails. This log says:
"250 OK" (I shorted the log). So, it means, the email should be send. For no reason, as already written, I do not receive and get emails with the form...
This plugin is connected with GMAIL API. I don't know why and for what that is...
I already deactivated all email plugins and tried different form plugins like Gravity Form or Contact Form. But same result...
How can I figure out whats the problem and how can I solve it?
I would be very happy about help.
Greetings and Thank You!
Here you can find a Quick config smtp https://www.crazydomains.com.au/help/getting-started-guide-email-hosting/#SDj5xkUTdbsVJ4mL.97.
Maybe email went in the spam section, or you had not configured good the smtp.
You can try to install https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and configure email sent from wordpress as say the crazydomains guide, so with the port 587 etc.
i have problem with my wordpress contact form7, i am not getting any mail form my website when the user submit a form.i am using many forms in my contact form 7, i tried all the way,(it not working any mail server ie.smtp and php mailer) even i am not getting any response contact form while submit the form (ie. success or failed etc) just got the alert message (details sent successfully), i am checked my wordpress can sent a mail (ie . forgot password mail). i have to fix this issue quickly so pls some one help me to resolve (i updated all ie.wordpress and contact form) my wesite link is : http://www.maldentrans.com/contact-us
One of the things that prevent the Contact Form 7 from working correctly is the email you use with the form.
The general idea is that if you use one of the e-mail addresses from the public email services like Gmail or Yahoo they will be blocked and the form won't work. That happens due to numerous anti spam restrictions.
So if switch from the Form to the Mail panel in the Form settings make sure to use the email domain that matches your website. In your case this could be something like info#maldentrans.com.
Make sure to use that email in the following fields: To and From.
After you set it up - everything should work fine!
I customized my webform module (everything I know), but it doesn't send e-mails to my adress (I just receive massage "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" in my spam that someone tried to send me e-mail.) How to solve this problem? I think the problem is more basic than webform module level, because the same kind of spam message I received before, when I was trying to change my password and achieve activation link to my e-mail adress. Can someone help me?
Normally, I use the SMTP Authentication Support module to avoid spam filters.
Install the Webform Reply To module, and set the default site email address in Configuration > System > Site information to be an address with the same domain as the website, to avoid problems with DMARC.
The visitor's email address will then be used for the "Reply-to:" field, and the website's email address used for the "From:" field, so that DMARC tests always pass.
I am using contact form 7 one of my wordpress site that using vantage app theme. But problem with sending contact mail. when I am trying to send mail get following message
"Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method."
Thanks
The only problem is you can send emails from you hosting domain email accounts only.
so check your to email address that is comes under you domain name
I hope this will solve your problem
This is almost certainly due to your particular hosting setup. There are a host of issues that can stop the sending of emails. It depends entirely on your local Server & WordPress configuration.
You will need to investigate this issue for your particular local configuration. See Contact Form 7 Email Issues.
By the way it's not due to "hosting php version or maybe mysql version" - it's due to basic stuff that you can address by working through the issues in the link.
I faced the same issue some time back. Are you using any WordPress caching plugin? like WP super-cache? I resolved this issue by following below steps on WP Super-cache.
Go to WP Super-Cache Admin panel
Go to “Advanced Tab”
Search for “Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached.”
Add '/contact/' (your Contact Form Page name)
Save Strings.
I was able to fix this problem after I spoke to my client's hosting company. The host claimed that the only requirement they had for emails to be passed through their system was that either the To: or the From: field contain an email address under the hosted domain name. They uploaded a test script (an ordinary PHP mail script) where the From: field was set with an address within the domain and the To: field was set to an outside email address. That script worked. I confirmed that I had the To: field in CF7 set to an email address within the appropriate domain but the form didn't function. Then I set the From: field to an email address within the domain and the form finally functioned. It appeared, therefore, that the host was incorrect about the To: field's address being within the domain being sufficient.
Into the "Form"(inside the mail menu) section you've to give the domain name of your site. And inside the message body use the short codes which will appear into the top of the mail menu.
And when you create a form field such as "name" / "email" / "phone no" etc, then give a name to them. Those name turns into a short codes like
[your-name]-Name, [your-mail]-Email(those are defaults, you can give any name according to your choice) etc, copy the short code and paste into the message body, don't write it only copy and paste.
Hope this will help you.
This suggestion depends on how your hosting provider deals with mail headers:
So, I have made all tests (javascript conflicts, etc.) and decided the problem could only be from my host. I contacted them and they told me that in email header, the "From:" SHOULD be exactly the same as the email I configured to receive the messages from my visitors.
As far as I understood, by default "Contact Form 7" uses visitor email to put it in "From:" but some host providers do not allow that.
My host provider don't even allow mail() function so I had to install WP MAIL SMTP.
So, resuming, I just added this to all my forms in "Additional headers":
From: your#domain.com
This means, you have to insert one email with same domain name as your website, otherwise your hosting might not send the email.
I lost a couple of hours with this...
Maybe is another plugin incompatible with contact form7 plugin.
Deactivate all plugin one by one and try send email.
I fixed the problem. webadmin email account was not setup. Once I setup the email account it is working fine.
