 * Some hosts have very specific requirements which can effect significantly the
   To & From Email Addresses you can use with CF7.
 * For example the from and to, on a DreamHost server, have to be the same domain
   as what you’re hosted on – see [http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2012/04/04/improvements-to-outgoing-spam-prevention-policy/](http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2012/04/04/improvements-to-outgoing-spam-prevention-policy/).
 * See [Contact Form 7 Email Issues](http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/#Contact_Form_7_Email_Issues).
   Most people that work through this information appear to be able to resolve their
   email sending & receiving issues.

 * You are correct, Dreamhost does have spam preventative measures that require 
   your email script From headers to be either a dreamhost hosted email account 
   or use smtp authentication to send your messages, as described below:
 * You could try to install & configure this WordPress plugin to use these
    SMTP
   authentication settings: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/)
   If you install and use this plugin, this should correct all the webforms/plugins
   on this site to use the settings you configured. Also make sure your wordpress
   username is tied to a dreamhost hosted email account.
 * Sample Plugin SMTP authenticated settings:
    smtp server: smtp.gmail.com ssl is
   on smtp authentication is on port 465 user: [your.email@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/send-mail/your.email@gmail.com?output_format=md)
   pass: your password
