 * Testing the Contact form: Mailing List + Form 2
 * The “customer” Does receive their emails for both forms.
 * Unfortunately, I do Not receive either of these.
 * Yes, saw your Help section:
    I do Not use gmail It is same as my website name
   Haven’t had problem with PHP mail before.
 * PS.
    I’m not 1 of the others who also had problems w/this, and never got an answer.
   This is my 1st request for this problem.
 * Maybe use another plugin.

 * Your server might block automatically generated emails, which is why you are 
   not receiving emails. Please contact your hosting provider providing details 
   about the plugin and email receiving issue. Thank you.

 * You keep blaming everyone else’s server rather than this bad plugin written by
   ppl who are not good at what they do.
 * We have 15 plugins and ALL of them work sending emails — but yours.

 * We do not use any email settings or separate functions, we use standard WordPress
   email send_out function, thus even if a single email gets send out by our plugin,
   it means plugin doesn’t have any issues with its functionality.

 * I have the same problem. My host seems to be blocking any email I send using 
   CForm Builder, if the admin email is yahoo or gmail. However, if I used my domain’s
   email address as the admin, those emails get delivered. It turns out my host 
   can block outgoing emails from their server in order to fight spam. One of the
   possible causes that I see (listed in my host’s troubleshooting page) is – “Are
   you fully authenticating within your email client to successfully log in with
   the email address and password for the account that you are sending from?”.
 * Having said that, I would also like to add that I never had this problem if I
   use the contact form that is built in the Virtue theme. So it is possible that
   Virtue is doing it differently. The messages that are getting delivered by Virtue
   has **wordpress**[@mysite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mysite/).com as
   the sender (instead of the email address of the actual sender), if that is of
   any help.
 * Thanks.

 * [@supersonic_528](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supersonic_528/),
 * It depends on server. But with our form if you set Send email from to [wordpress@mysite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-not-getting-email/wordpress@mysite.com?output_format=md),
   then in a similar manner our form maker will overcome the limitation. But if 
   you want to receive the email from submitter’s email, the issue will be faced
   again. Thank you.

 * We are not responsible for problems which are not coming from our side. We resolve
   all issues connect with our plugin, but cannot solve them if those are connected
   with your server.
