    I finally got Contact Form to work with external SMTP. Modifying the wp-config.php and functions.php files, described in the link above, did not work for me. However, installing the Easy WP SMTP plugin does work with external SMTP.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    I rarely do anything in WordPress that would initiate a message to me, so I added a new user, and did NOT receive a notification. I also tried a password reset, and did not receive a message.

    However, I have assumed that WordPress was sending email because another plugin, UpdraftPlus, notifies me about backups being performed. It apparently uses something called PHPMailer, which might utilize the Postfix settings.

    I found documentation about configuring WordPress for external SMTP here:

    https://www.narga.net/send-wordpress-email-with-external-smtp/

    It presents two different methods. Therefore, I will try it out and update here soon.

    Thank you,

    This e-mail was sent from a contact form on The Reynolds Office of Health (http://www.ReynoldsOffice.com)

    ——

    All other configurations are unused.

    This same form worked fine before migrating to a new server which uses external SMTP.

    Below is the entire .htaccess file contents. The server uses cPanel.

    Thank you for posting this solution! I had a similar problem, after upgrading to 2.3.7. In my case, the calendar formatting was very distorted, and the graphics were missing. However, I had no errors, but suspected that the trouble was regarding the CSS

    The MySQL query revealed that the calendar was looking for the CSS file on a no-longer-active domain name.
