 * I have been having random issues with Contact Form 7 for months. I want to shout
   and scream and get angry, but really it’s just utter frustration that I am continuing
   to have warning messages show up.
 * WP v3.4.2
    Plugin v3.2.1
 * [http://www.okodio.com/contact/](http://www.okodio.com/contact/)
 * This scenario occurs all the time:
    1. Go to contact page and fill in required
   details – message “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the
   administrator by another method.” 2. Check backend settings – message then sends.
 * Today I created a test form after getting the error above on the main form. Message
   sent fine, and then checking main form this sent fine too.
 * I am also using WP-Mail-SMTP as our servers require some authentication.
 * Any suggestions? This is driving me totally insane and probably losing me a lot
   of business when clients cannot make an inquiry.
 * Any contact form which work better? I ask this as I have a BIG contact form to
   create and CF7 take ages to implement fields.
 * Thanks
 * Nat

 * I am having the same problem…except I am not using WP-Mail-SMTP. I am hosted 
   on GoDaddy. I can’t figure out why this is happening

 * I hear about issues with GoDaddy a lot.
 * – try re-creating your form or a test new one and see if it happens
    – try installing
   the smtp plugin so its sending the form authenticated
 * My form is still sending okay, but it’s likely I’ll randomly check tomorrow or
   in a few days and I’ll have issues, then its fine again!
