 * My form contacts suddenly do not work, I am not receiving messages.
 * Is possible that the problem is your plugin?

 * Hi [@margarit0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margarit0/),
 * WP-SpamShield is 100% compatible with PHP 7+, including PHP 7.1. It will always
   be compatible with the latest and greatest stable PHP version.
 * The issue you’re talking about is a common one among contact form plugins. It’s
   not specific to any particular contact form plugin, and is not related to the
   plugin code or PHP version.
 * **The issue has to do with email being sent from the server, instead of using
   SMTP on a real email account. Sending mail through a web server (instead of SMTP)
   is notoriously unreliable (unless you are very experienced with email configuration).**
   We have an FAQ about it with more info:
    - **[Q: The contact form emails, new user notification emails, or comment notification emails never seem to reach my inbox. What might be causing this?](https://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/faqs/?faqs=4#faqs_4)**
 * Please see the sticky post at the top of the forum — [PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING — Updated June 2017](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-before-posting-updated-june-2017/),
   and follow the links there to our support documentation and to our official support
   page. (These links are also in the plugin’s settings page.)
 * _Please note that we don’t provide support here at the forums, but we do provide
   excellent support through our site, which is better equipped to help our plugin
   users._
 * Please direct all support requests to the plugin’s official support venue, the
   [WP-SpamShield Technical Support](https://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/support/)
   page.
