Contact Form 7 Can't Send Mail with SMTP Plugin

Hi,

I am getting a strange issue when using any SMTP Plugin (WP-Mail-SMTP or Easy WP SMTP)

The issue is when these plugins are activated i got the error

Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

After Disabling the plugins it is sending messages.

Now the Conflicting problem is i am using “Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension” plugin and i am using this code

[dynamichidden recipient-email “CF7_get_custom_field key=’email’ obfuscate=’on'”]

It is working if i disable the SMTP Plugins..But the strange thing is i also have a normal contact form for my site which is working in both cases (SMTP Disable or Enable)

Anybody suggest what is the problem behind this?

Thanks

    Hey @Shabir,

    Hope you’re doing well today :slight_smile:

    Is the Contact Form 7 working when you disable Dynamic Text Extension or the issue is there in both cases?

    Have you tried disabling every other plugins and leaving only Contact Form 7, Dynamic Text Extension and SMTP plugins activated to check if there is maybe conflicts between SMPT and some other plugin?

    Best regards,

    Predrag

    Hi,

    If i disabled the Dynamic Text Plugin then the mail will not work bcoz it is getting the mail ID from the custom field. so there is no point to check.

    Many of other plugin are only for backend, here is the list

    Advanced Access Manager, Advanced Custom Fields, Auto Future Date, BackWPup, CSV Importer, EWWW Image Optimizer, Faster Image Insert, Google XML Sitemaps, Manual Image Crop, Post Data Delete Advanced, Post Snippets, Responsive Lightbox, Search EverythingSimple History, Stop Spam Comments, Term Management Tools, WP-Optimize, WP-PageNavi, WP-PostRatings, WP Google Authenticator

    I think they will not create any problem.

    Thanks

    Hi, Shabir!

    I did a quick test on my own site and was not able to replicate this issue. Since the problems you’re having are all with plugins that aren’t ours, and it looks like you don’t have any of our products installed, these issues may be better addressed by the support teams of your SMTP plugins or Contact Form 7.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    Thanks for reply :slight_smile:

    I disabled all the SMPT Plugins and using the Default PHP Mailer and the problem is gone.

    Also i want to know is there any benefits using SMTP over PHP Mail.

    I think its less chances for SPAM… am i right?

    Anyway Thanks :slight_smile:
