# wp_mail not functioning

 * Installed Contact Form 7 without a problem. When testing the form I noticed that
   I am not receiving a message while the form states that everything is ok.
 * Did research and concluded that the problem is wp_mail due to the fact that I
   am using Google Apps instead of regular host services. That way e-mails are discarded
   to prevent spoofing practices.
 * I installed WP Mail SMTP to prevent this by sending messages using SMTP instead
   of wp_mail and everything seems to be working now.
 * Is there a way to use wp_mail again without using SMTP. I rather not be using
   a lot of services to prevent problems and keep things native.
 * Is my conclusion correct and who can help me with this?

 * Having the same problem, that De Doortrapper.
    wp_mail and Contact Form 7 plugins
   are not functioning together.
 * Any workout?

 * In Flamingo I even do not see that contact-form-7 is working with correct “FROM”
   and “Subject” (both is empty)…
 * contact-form-7 does not send anything via wp_mail

 * I’m having the same problem as above, also fixed with WP Mail SMTP. Haven’t found
   any other way yet, but also curious as to an alternative solution.
