    A new install of CF7 and form results won’t send to my client’s domain email address (they area using Google apps email with that domain email).

    I’ve tried with my domain email address and no problems.
    Also tried inserting my gmail and nothing comes through.

    Any advice? Thanks in advance!

    My web host was very helpful and provided a solution. The mail from the form was being sent from the server email address rather than my email address so Gmail was rejecting it.

    The solution in case it’s helpful:

    in cPanel you will need to go to “Select PHP version”
    Then, change the version to a non native version
    so, 5.3 instead of native (5.3), and press the Set as current button
    Then, there will be a link in the top right to configure php settings
    you will then be able to change the mail.force_extra_parameters setting
    You will want to change it to -fnoreply@yourdomain.com – and press apply (and Save at base)
    …which will resolve the issue.

    With this set up I can now use a Gmail address as the recipient of the CF7 content.
