    I have a simple form — just 2 fields, Name and Email address. When I enter a yahoo or hotmail email address in the form, no email is sent even though the message for successful sending appears after I hit Send. Email is sent successfully when the email address entered in the form is gmail or any private domain email address.

    I’m using WP-Mail-SMTP plugin also… The “To:” in the Mail section of the Contact form setup is to a private email and the same email is in the From of the WP-Mail-SMTP setup….not sure it matters….

    I stumbled upon the solution.

    In short, do not put [your-email] in the “From” field in the Mail section of the Contact Form 7 setup. Instead put any of your own valid email address.

    For example, use:
    To: contact@mydomain.com
    From: contact@mydomain.com
    Additional Headers: Reply-To: [your-email]
