 * Hi,
 * I am getting a strange issue when using any SMTP Plugin (WP-Mail-SMTP or Easy
   WP SMTP)
 * The issue is when these plugins are activated i got the error
 * `Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by
   another method.`
 * After Disabling the plugins it is sending messages.
 * Now the Conflicting problem is i am using “Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension”
   plugin and i am using this code
 * `[dynamichidden recipient-email "CF7_get_custom_field key='email' obfuscate='
   on'"]`
 * It is working if i disable the SMTP Plugins..But the strange thing is i also 
   have a normal contact form for my site which is working in both cases (SMTP Disable
   or Enable)
 * Anybody suggest what is the problem behind this?
 * Thanks

 * This is not at all strange. It just means you don’t need to use SMTP​​ on your
   particular WP install. I recommend you don’t use SMTP if you don’t need to as
   it can create further problems with email authentication.

 * ​​This gives a clear cause of your problem. You are probably better asking for
   further advice in that plugins support forum.
