 * My site is on the Google Cloud and I’m using Google’s G Suite for email. I’m 
   also using Postman SMTP.
 * I was able to get the emails to my inbox by using the main-email account instead
   of an alias on gmail. The main email address has to be used so it can authenticate.
 * I also tested Microsoft Outlook by sending an email to the alias which did not
   work (smtp.gmail.com TO my gmail alias) but I could send an email to the alias
   from a non-gmail smtp server. This hinted that the problem was not with Contact
   Form 7.
 * The text below is from the chat session with Google’s Support.
 * The reason why you have to use a different domain is because the web forms get
   confused and try to deliver the email at your web host rather than your mail 
   host, they see your domain in the recipient and say “hey this is the same domain
   where the site is hosted at, it should be the same, lets save some effort looking
   at the domain’s MX records and lets leave it right here”.
 * The “From:” field needs to be your primary email address since it requires authentication(
   aliases can’t authenticate), the “TO:” field has to be preferably an email not
   from your domain name, like the test alias example.com.test-google-a.com
 * If you are sending it from a website is different, the behavior when it gets 
   dropped is just when you use Gmail web mail or a mail client. For web forms, 
   send the emails to the aliases from the test example.com.consulting.test-google-
   a.com

 * I am having the same issue with two sites. It worked with one hosting company
   but I moved the sites to the google cloud and added Postman SMTP which will send
   a test message through smtp.gmail.com but Contact Form 7 will not send. I was
   also able to read emails with Flamingo on one site.
 * The site hangs when clicking on the submit button on one site. Does anyone know
   how to produce logs?
