 * My form was sending to a GMAIL account. Gmail was blocking the email because 
   SPF/DKIM/DAMRC/rDNS were not set on the server to resolve the server.
 * I am not sure what type of hosting that you are using, but it is something that
   you may want to look at.
 * I used this website to run some scans and it showed the issues.

 * Have you installed flamingo to see the the form is properly working?
 * If flamingo is seeing the email, set from the website. Then you have a server
   issue most likely.

 * I just had this issue with my site. It has to do with the domain not having the
   correct SPF DKIM and DMARC and rDNS records.
 * The mail was being processed by the server, but in my case Gmail was bouncing
   it back. But without the proper records basically GMAIL did not trust the sender.
 * I am not sure if this is your exact situation. But once we added the records 
   email came right through.
