I'm using Wordpress 3.8 beta 1 running on 000webhost's free servers. I've created an email to post to my blog when I don't want to log in, but I can't seem to get it working.
Mail Server: mx.000webhost.com
Login Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx#onlinecalc.host56.com
Password: The correct password.
I sent a test post with the subject of "Testing WP-Email Post" and body of "I'm trying to use WordPress' post via email system." a few days ago, and the post still hasn't apperd on my blog!
I would suggest using Gmail here. Follow the steps below which have been found on:http://themefuse.com/blog/posting-to-wordpress-via-email-theres-a-safe-way-of-doing-this/
Using Gmail
Yes, Gmail will help us big time here.
Start by creating a new Gmail account with whatever username you wish.
You can even go with “secretemailformyblogposting#gmail.com” … it
truly doesn’t matter. What matters is what we’re going to do later on.
Go to your Gmail settings. Then “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” and enable
the “Enable POP for all mail (even mail that’s already been
downloaded)” feature. From now on your Gmail is supporting the
possibility of downloading messages via POP protocol (which WordPress
uses for email postings).
This next step is the crucial one. What we’re going to do here is
choose an email address which will be the only one allowed to send
anything to your new Gmail account, and therefore to post something to
your blog.
Go to “Filters” and “Create a new filter.” In the “from” field input
your primary email address and add a hyphen just before it. Example:
–yourmainemail#domain.com. Then press “Create filter with this
search.” Tick the “Delete it” checkbox, and press “create filter.”
That’s it.
From now on every email that hasn’t been sent from your own email
address will be immediately deleted.

I have no experience with this and I'm in need of major help. I have a word press website that I am trying to connect a gmail account to. So that the contact form gets sent to a gmail address. I got it all set up and it is telling me I need verification. This is only being used for my word press website. Probably very few users, not a business. Can I get around the verification process or not?
You would need an OAuth Consent Screen for your Project.
You can refer to this blog post on how you can connect a Gmail account on your Wordpress site
I have implemented the reset password link for my app (using exactly the same firebase code provided at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users). It works well when I tried it using a gmail account that I have registered previously on the app (I received the reset password link on gmail and able to change for a new password). However, when I tried it with other email domains (like professional work or school domains e.g #mycompany.com or #school.edu), it does not seem to receive the email (not in junk/spam too). It is very weird because I do receive the 'email verification' link (from firebase) using other domains when I registered using the app but not when I tried to reset the password? Any ideas on how to approach this problem?
As an FYI, currently in Jan 2023, Microsoft 365 business blocks these emails from ever reaching the target mailbox, even if you change the SMTP settings in firebase.
They still appear in your own SMTP sent section, they just never get delivered by MS
Open firebase console goto Authentication then click on Templates > Password Reset then copy given email address (it seems like, 'noreply#YOUR-PROJECT-NAME.firebaseapp.com') then open your Gmail account and paste that email id in search section the tap on 'view message > move to not spam'
This will surly help you
Thanks

If the code is the same and you don't get an error message, it is extremely likely that the email gets blocked somewhere along to the way to the target mailbox. You'd have to reach out to the system administrator and see if they can find the message somewhere in their spam filters, and ask them to modify the configuration of those to no longer block these messages.
As ganey stated, the problem is that certain email filters such as MS 365 do not accept mails that contain links that are not in pair with the sender domain.
The solution is to add a customized action url that points to the same domain as your sender domain.
Then you need to redirect from that url to the url generated by firebase.
Note:
If you do this in react or another SPA, don't forget to append the query params.
I am working with contact form 7 but mail is not sending to my gmail id,
can anybody tell me what should i do to send email in inbox not in spam.
The mails sended via the contact form 7 plugin should have a sender with the domain of your wordpress site. If your site url is "https://www.mypage.com", you can use "noreply#mypage.com" or anything else, but make sure to use the same domain. So the sender really is your domain, otherwise gmail will mark it as spam because it "fakes" the domain it is coming from.
If gmail still puts it in the spam folder, please make sure you are using the right syntax for from header:
Yourname Ormessage <noreply#mypage.com>
Your first name and second name, the mail address inside of brackets.
Make sure you have a reply-to set with a real existing mail-adress you are reading:
Reply-To: info#mypage.com
What does the subject of your e-mail look like? This could also be a reason why gmail marks it as spam. Don't use a subject too long and don't use "spam like" words or sentences.
You checked everything but gmail still puts it in your spam folder? Maybe you should use a smtp plugin to send your emails reliably: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
If nothing works for you, maybe you have marked it as spam inside your gmail by mistake? You can mark it as no-spam again. But this will only affect your mail account. Maybe you try to send the email to someone elses mail address, so you can check if the issue is with your personal account.
Hope this helps.
The company I work for have a small Plone blog. But we have a problem with spam accounts. We use captcha on the site and Plone sends a mail to the users that they must confirm before they can edit the user profile. Still about 600 spam users are created every day. In the Plone user profile they paste all kinds of commercial links.
We are located in Denmark and the blog is in danish, therefore I have made a script to delete all users with a non danish mail adress. But even though most of the real users have a danish mail account I probably still deletes some real users when running the script.
The spam users register from a vide range of ip-adresses, so blocking ip's is not an option.
Does anyone have ideas to what to do about this problem?
Disable Plone comments/public user creation and use a third party commenting service such as Disqus.
They somehow trick recaptcha (if you find out, please let me know :)
But how do they do the email validation? They don't have to. Plone join_form has a hidden field for password which is filled by this bot and Plone saves it as the real password (check the REQUEST object comming from this bot)
So the bot doesn't need to check email for password. That's how they get in and activate those accounts. So fix the hidden password field from join_form.
Then, remove all users that have links in their profile description (as a real user you don't do that, do you?). Also don't let the users to input HTML within their profile description.
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.
