I got it working by changin the email address to a non related email… why can’t the email address be the same as the site url?
[your-email] wordpress@buckandhound.ie is likely to cause problems. You have potentially 2 From email addresses with 1 not hosted in your domain.
The From: field should be a valid email address & preferably 1 hosted on your domain.
they are valid and they are on my domain… I don’t understand why they are causing an issue?

Hi,
Put the email from the site, but in Settings then General
– email address surrounded by “<” and “>“
[your-email] <wordpress@buckandhound.ie>
they are valid and they are on my domain… I don’t understand why they are causing an issue?
Important to see the From: field as an email address. You are sending an email, but you are doing it from WordPress on your server using PHP.
You want to avoid your form email being seen as spam by your host & other hosts.
The best way to do that is to use a valid email address on the domain where the form is hosted .
[your-email] wordpress@buckandhound would generate something like frednurk@customer.com wordpress@buckandhound.ie which is not a single valid email address.

@buzztone :
do not forget to put the email between < and > as shown on the website of the author.

Hi,
It is imperative that your email contains your domain name, not another, not gmail address.
It must for example be webmaster@domainename.com
If you haven’t, then create one with your site host
http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/
For other mail, to use cc and Bcc
http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/
It has always been the domain name and that is when it doesn’t work. So this DOES NOT work:
To
hello@buckandhound.ie
From
[your-name] <wordpress@buckandhound.ie>
Subject
[your-subject]
Additional Headers
Reply-To: [your-email]
Message Body
But this does:
To
clairebuckpr@gmail.com
From
[your-name] <wordpress@buckandhound.ie>
Subject
[your-subject]
Additional Headers
Reply-To: [your-email]
Message Body
And the email on general settings, is hello@buckandhound.ie (changed to another and still didn’t work)
