Try looking through the wp_options table in your database.
obnoxiousnox@gmail.com The plugin might be picking it up from a previously stored setting in the database.
There might be more than one reference to a gmail account in the table. Or in the database (not sure if the smtp plugin creates its own table).
I found this in my php.ini file. Could this have something to do with it?
[mail function]
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
; SMTP = localhost
; smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost
Erm – yes. I think that’s worth a try.
LOL! You say that like, “Ya, dummy. I told this before…”
What do I change the SMTP to?
Actually, it was because I’m using a different local server flavor to you and my php.ini file is a little different. Plus I’ve never really bothered with mail locally as I just use my server for development work. The “Erm” was intended to introduce a note of “I’m not 100% sure”. š
Assuming you’re using Win32, try:
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost
LOL!
I think I’ll just give it up and just accept that I’ll never get a contact page running. Thanks for the help, though.
Sorry I couldn’t help any further. You might want to try posting on a dedicated XAMPP forum to see if any of their experts can suggest something.
Good grief.
Comcast was the problem
It suddenly dawned on me that I have to set up my out going in Outlook to pass through Comcast mail servers.
I activated Configure SMTP and set it to pass through Comcast’s email servers and Bob’s your uncle, it worked
Go figure
