   seem to work. Can I use any email address for this? forexample a gmail address,
   the same one for both mailto and mailfrom?

 * I struggled with this for a while myself (see my post to this forum from a few
   days ago). I tried using several mail plugins to resolve it before finally finding
   one today that worked for me called Easy WP SMTP. This was all very frustrating,
   but I’m very new to WordPress in general so maybe this is just the way it is 
   with WP in general. Anyway, give it a try and see if it works for you. Be sure
   to deactivate other email plugins if you have them, because they are likely to
   interfere with each other.
 * good luck and please post here if it does work for you. I’m kind of curious if
   this type of problem is general, or maybe specific to my particular setup.

 * Thanks for this. I am going to try this out. A quick question, where you able
   to set this up with a gmail address or did you have to set up an email address
   with your domain?
