Contact Form 7 blocking valid emails

    Hi, I have a Questionnaire created from Contact Form 7 which used to work fine until maybe 6 months ago. I email this link out to people and get them to take the questionnaire…that part still works fine. Once the form is filled out, by the respondent, an email is sent to them and one to my office. BUT, in the last 6-9 months, legitimate email addresses are being marked as Spam and no emails are sent out. It seems to be random…I might send the link out to 10 different people at the same organisation, and 40% of them will not receive an email back….

    I was unaware of this until I discovered Flamingo and installed that. Now I can see that legitimate email addresses are being caught. And there is no way to release the email unfortunately.

    I need some help in trying to resolve this or else I need to try a different Contact form. Help – Geoff

    What other plugins and theme do you use on the site?

    I am having the same issue on ALL CF7 forms on my website, they worked fine all along and now they all get the orange “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.” message even though Askimt is not running on the website. What plugins cause the CF7 plugin to fail?

    I’m still trying to work out exactly what happens. I’m not sure my users get an error message.

    When I test it, the Submit Button Greys out…if you press it again, it goes Green. (I understand this might be called the Spinner…?)
    Yesterday I discovered the initial time you press it, the form goes into Spam…the second time you press it, it is successful.

    I can see this in Flamingo… before I installed that form, I never understood that.

    @deniseharker – see I have the same problem! Can I just reply to someone else’s post with “Me too”?.

    If you are willing to create a new question, which details your issues, somebody will likely be able to help you there.
