# Orange border failure started recently

 * All of a sudden emails have started failing from Contact Form 7 with an orange
   border. All emails are now failing. The plugin has been working correctly for
   over two years and all of a sudden customers are getting an orange border every
   time they try to submit a message.
 * Has anyone else had this issue? I can’t find the answer..

 * I have the same problem, it turns out to be the captcha in my case – if you have[
   recaptcha] in your form try taking it out and see if the form works.

 * Hi simonco, I have the exact same problem as you describe in your initial post.
   I also do not have captcha.
    Have you had any luck following buzztone’s advice?
 * I created a new form and it worked once, but then stopped working again.
    Does
   this help anyone diagnose the issue? Any help much appreciated.

 * Thanks, this solved my issue. I was using a field instead of an actual email 
   address. One eI updated to [wordpress@pilatesonbourke.com.au](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/orange-border-failure-started-recently/wordpress@pilatesonbourke.com.au?output_format=md)
   the form worked.
 * Thanks!
