   Hello,

   I've been troubleshooting this all day - reading various blogs and message posts on it. I'm currently hosted at godaddy, and though various advice I have installed the WP-Mail-SMTP and followed this guys instructions:
   http://www.angstrey.com/index.php/2009/04/22/how-to-send-e-mail-with-wordpress-from-godaddy-windows-hosting/

   I was excited at first because I indeed got the (bool = true) and thought it was fixed. I've sent test emails successfully, but the "Contact 7" that I installed does not work - nor do emails that are supposed to notify me of comment updates. I'm not sure if the problem is related to either, but I wanted to figure out why WP isn't sending me email notifications first. I've got the appropriate email address in the GENERAL SETTINGS and the USER SETTINGS for admin.

   If I were a little more advanced I might be able to fix this, but I'm afraid I've reached my ceiling here. Any ideas?

   Hi,

   It depends on your hosting server configuration and SMTP settings. To overcome from that you can use these plugins to send email from the wordpress blog:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users/

   Thanks,

   I host my WordPress sites on the Rackspace Cloud (formerly known as Mosso) and in order to get the email notifications from WordPress to send, I had to add the following line to a .htaccess file in the document root of the website.

   # PHP - MAIL
   php_value mail.force_extra_parameters -fwebmaster@example.com

   Of course you'll have to change the "webmaster@example.com" to something relevant to your website, but you get the picture. Hope this helps your situation.

   I was having same problem. There is nothing wrong with WordPress scripts nor with Contact Form Plugin. Its all with your localhost setting in C-panel.

   Its all due to MXentry setting problem in your website c-panel.
