Cannot send to a yahoo mail

    I installed a Contact Form 7 and started testing it by sending emails to my yahoo address. I got the “successfully sent” message but nothing showed up in my yahoo mailbox. I changed the email address and it did work.
    Has anybody encountered this phenomenon and solved it?

    I have CF7 sending to a Yahoo email account and have never experienced the problem you are talking about. Have you double checked the ‘Send to’ address?

    I am also having this problem and have been able to resolve yet. Form the dashboard test emails to the yahoo account work fine but from CF7 emails are lost, yet the form states “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.” It is become most annoying.

    Hi

    I have a similar problem but with a Google Apps hosted email account.

    I was told to add an SPF record (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework) for my domain. Didn’t seem to help me but it may help you.

    If you find a solution post it here please. 🙂

    Hi

    This was resolved for me.
    I just needed to switch the mail service off on my server.
    Won’t forget that in a hurry.
