 * It could be because the mail you entered is not the same as your domain.
 * Example: i’m pretty sure you entered [your-email], who is the user email (I will
   take [user@mail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-9/user@mail.com?output_format=md)
   for example).
 * The mail is sent with the [user@mail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-9/user@mail.com?output_format=md)
   but your domain name is YourDomain.com.
    Different domain = syntax error. Just
   try with [wordpress@YourDomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-9/wordpress@YourDomain.com?output_format=md)

 * Not displaying at all or the form styling is bad?
 * If it’s about styling, it might be due due conflict with your theme .css files.(
   i’m just guessing at this point)

 * You can add a class or an ID in your form and style it in your theme css file.
 * [text your-text class:MyFormClass]
    [text your-text id:MyFormID]

 * For spaces in between text fields we use
 *     ```
       .wpcf7-form input{
       	margin:0;
       }
       ```
   
 * For check and radio buttons what to do i tried dint get the result.
