# Wrong SMTP Hostname Selected?

 * Am working with a contact form 7 which is failing to send properly and a google
   apps account. I have successfully used Postman several times but this time is
   not working out.
 * When I use the wizard, it suggests “relay-hosting.secureserver.net” as the Outgoing
   Mail Server Hostname. The domain is registered at Name.com, hosted at Bluehost
   and the mx records are set to google apps. spf is set to “v=spf1 include:_spf.
   google.com ~all”
 * Why is postman’s wizard trying to get me to use godaddy’s relay?
 * When I keep “relay-hosting.secureserver.net” as the hostname, and use SMTP – 
   secureserver.net:25, Postman says my test email is good and I do receive the 
   test in my inbox, but….
 * when I attempt to send a contact form, the form fails (“Failed to send your message.
   Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.”)
 * When I attempt to manually enter “smtp.gmail.com” (which is what it should be–
   shouldn’t it?) everything fails.
 * Any ideas, folks?

 * I’m also having the same trouble using this on a different site with office365.
   com but that’s a whole other post, I suppose.
