 * Using CF7 V.3.9.1
 * I get a server error 500 when sending.
    The site was working, but during some
   upgrades in the past month or so it broke. I tried: + I have a custom theme &
   plugins, and I tried disabling and removing as much as I could. + I added “define(‘
   WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);” to wp-config.php + my php.ini has “memory_limit =
   128M” + I added “define (‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false);” to wp-config.php – just to
   get a white page with error 500 + I made sure my form has a valid ‘From’ address
   using a domain email
 * I do not know where to look for more error info on the server side, it all seems
   ok.
 * Is there a way to get a log from cf7?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Ellie.

 * In addition, I have removed the “contact-form-7/” folder and reinstalled cf7,
   retained all my settings but with same error!

 * I am getting the same error… everything worked fine and then after a couple updates
   it no longer allows me to submit. I get a server 500 error as well. I have disabled
   all plugins except for contact 7 with the same resulting error.
 * [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal
   Server Error) (underground.net, line 0)

 * I found the problem and the solution. I had upgraded Easy WP SMTP plugin and 
   it lost all its settings (a noted problem with this last update), which is why
   Contact 7 could no longer send. Went in and added back the settings in Easy SMTP
   and all is good.

 * I am also getting same error on all my websites running on WP 3.9.2 hosted with
   Godaddy. If I update any 3.9.1 site to 3.9.2, it also starts displaying 500 Internal
   Server Error after some time.

 * Still having this problem!
 * Upgraded to WP 4.0, CF7 3.9.3
 * Got WP-Mail-SMTP configured with gmail account, test email works great.
 * When submitting I get Server error 500:
    HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error Date:

 * Is there anything else I can try/test?
 * Thanks in advance,
