contact form 7 mail not sending

Question

I have used contact form 7 for one of my wordpress sites. I have also integrated wp-mail-smtp for sending mail. In local site is running properly but When I configure it on server it gives error. Problem is though I get success message but it does not send mail to specified email id. and when I try to send the test message from smtp, it gives below error

The SMTP debugging output is shown below:

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Can any one specify the problem?

Answer 1

I needed to wipe this from the "from" field to get my emails to get through:

[your-name] <[your-email]>

Just left it blank and it worked.

Answer 2

The SMTP needs to be authenticated. Download and install the WP Mail SMTP plugin. Once the local server information is added in Settings >> Email, the emails should get sent out to any outside email addresses.

Link to plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Please try with "host as localhost"

Just try hope will helps

Answer 3

In addition to installing a plugin for SMTP (smtp-wp, WP Mail SMTP, etc.) Make sure that configuration in the Contact Form 7 configuration, the text area "Message Body" contains at least the code [your-message].
