Contact Form 7 error

Ossu minna sama!

I dunno if we’re experiencing the same issue… I know only that I couldn’t send mails using Contact Form 7, with a newly wordpress 2.7 installation. My PHP version is 5.2.4, and my server has a sendmail installed in /usr/sbin/sendmail. Just a common web server (Apache) with PHP installed.

I tried, after some googleing, use wp-mail-smtp plugin. But my Yahoo! account seems have problems to let PHP use it as main account to send mails through SMTP (instead of the mail php function + local sendmail). After that, I tried again using Contact Form and wp_mail function. Which, by the way, was using now mail() PHP function to send the mail. Just as you guys should be trying to do now.

After some time thinking about the problems in directly editing the Contact Form 7 Plugin in WordPress Theme Editor, I changed two lines of code and it worked. Seems to be some problem with the headers that the plugin uses when sending mails.

//(...)
            }
            //return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers, $for_this_mail);
            return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body);
        } else {
            //return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers);
            return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body);
        }
        // (...)

Actually, I thought about it after seeing wp-mail-smtp plugin testing the mail function. In the plugin code, they used the php mail function this way (TO, SUBJECT, BODY) and it worked… while wp_mail function sending the mail_headers parameter was broken.

Maybe Contact Form 7 guys can check what’s wrong with the plugin and the header stuff.

Sorry, my last code is incorrect. The correct one is below:

}
    //return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers, $for_this_mail);
    return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, 'From: YOUR NAME <your-mail-address@your-host>');
} else {
    //return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers);
    return @wp_mail($mail_recipient, $mail_subject, $mail_body, 'From: YOUR NAME <your-mail-address@your-host>');
}

Thank you for the fix, I also found out that if you change the name of the form, it will still show up, but not send. So if you have the same form on a few pages and change the name, make sure to change it everywhere else
