 * I’m using WP 3.4.2, working locally on Wampserver 2.2. Apache 2.2.22 PHP 5.4.3.
   and MYSQL 5.5.24. I activated Contact form 7 Version 3.3.1 and when I try to 
   send mail to someone’s edress I get “Failed to send your message. Please try 
   later or contact the administrator by another method.”
    What’s the problem I 
   coldn’t find on internet solution for my problem? What’s the difference when 
   I send mail locally and on server?
 * Thanx!

 * SMTP is the server/software that handles the sending out of emails. Try asking
   on a forum that is dedicated to your server’s software.

 * There is no other suitable forum on wordpress.org. You need to look elsewhere.
