 * Receiving error message where the form used to work without incident.
    **Failed
   to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another
   method.**
 * We reconfigured our mailserver to bypass all SPAM Filters, we changed MX records
   to point directly to the mailserver. We installed Easy WP SMTP Email and can 
   send from the website without issue. So, it’s not an mailserver configuration
   issue.
 * I wanted to download and reinstall an previous version of Contact Form 7 that
   used to work, but can not find an older version despite your instructions.
    Because
   of the realtor’s plugin, we are still running PHP 5.4 with the latest version
   of WordPress. I would like to try an older version that may support 5.4
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-message-812%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Ok, it is a Contact Form 7 Issue. If I downgrade Contact Form 7, the form sends
   again. Now I have to figure out how to downgrade without losing all my data.
