  • Can you let me know how you fixed it? I can’t seem to get it to work…

    FWIW: I’ve had decent luck with MediaTemple in the tests that I’ve run. Anyone else have opinions? I need to find a host to recommend to clients leaving godaddy. There’s also a coupon code for MT hosting that brings it down to about $16/mo (retailmenot)… Figured for a better backend, more responsive support and less of a nightmare user interface for actually managing sites, seems like a decent switch.

    Most of my clients would shy away from boutique hosting companies so out of the “big guys” MT seems to be an alright choice.

    Hi all–

    so after rjdougan said that godaddy had “fixed” the issue, i reinstated the form on the client’s website and we did some testing. apart from having about a 30 minute delay on emails, it looked like they were coming thru normally.

    that is, until earlier this week when they started getting lost into the abyss again. 2 undelivered. and these email forms are how the client actually gets 80% of their new business. client is furious and understandably as while the form was “gold” for them when it worked, not working means they’re losing customers and don’t even know that they are.

    i made the switch to mediatemple for my own domains a few weeks ago and we’re going to move a copy of client’s site onto my server to test email sending capacity but from other sites i’ve tested on mediatemple, emails come in from contactform7 in under 2 minutes. reliably. i’ll post back up here if anyone is interested in tests with CF7 and mediatemple.

    so… sorry, godaddy, but this seems to be the end of the road for us. not to mention that shitshow of a website where it takes 3 clicks after loggin in to access my admin panel.

    Hi all–

    just checkin in. i’ve got a few clients who are VERY close to leaving godaddy over this… any word?

    and just a poll to the group… i’ve recommended MediaTemple as their new host since I’ve worked with them before and have enjoyed their backend admin section (way better than the clusterf*** that godaddy calls a UI) but wanted to check and see if anyone had any reservations about MT or others to recommend. I’ve hosted a few WP sites on MT and haven’t had any reports of weird email issues using CF7 but…

    thanks again.

    Any word on the status of this beast? I’ve got a couple clients on hold with their contact forms and are wondering when I can put the form back up.

    Thanks again, rjdougan.

    Hey guys—

    so i managed to get CF7 working… at least in my tests. 2/2 were delivered, however the 2nd one seemed to come thru after about, oh, an hour? this is still reasonably unacceptable as an email client shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to come thru the tubes at most.

    additionally, these are only 2 tests that i’ve run. the other issues that i was having included some emails just being lost to the abyss.

    Let us know what happens, RJDOUGAN. it is really unacceptable for godaddy to say ‘sorry. not our problem.’ if it used to work and if people aren’t having problems using other hosting providers.

    Ok. so i got my first test back.

    – using default CF7 settings (not changing anything in classes.php)
    – sent at 10:09Am. arrived at 10:31AM.

    i sent another one a little later. waiting on it.

    so i’m going to do more testing this morning since a) it used to work on godaddy and b) last night i got ALL of the tests i’d sent previously using CF7 unmodified AND with the webformmailer.php inserted into classes… Some showed up in my inbox and entire 3+ hours behind schedule.

    So I’m having the exact same issues as Avery. Client is hosted on Godaddy / Linux. Email from CF7 stopped working earlier this week.

    I tried shazen’s suggestion but that just ended up giving me the spinning arrows… no confirmation of “sent”… I switched the servers to SSH enabled (learned that trick for another client if you want to put your site on a different server), still nada.

    This is ridiculous. Plugin worked. Plugin doesn’t work. I’m going to see about maybe downgrading the plugin version and see if that at least gets things back up and running.
