    RE: E-MAIL SEND PROBLEM

    Every time I try to send an outgoing e-mail from my WordPress site, I get a red error message. Here’s a TinyPic screenshot of the error message: https://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=jucvaq&s=5

    I’ve just begun building this site, and this is the first “snag” I’ve run into. This is on the Ask a Question page of my site, https://www.larrysturf.com. The plugin I used for this contact form was Contact Form 7. I’m using version 3.7.1.

    Any help offered would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

    Larry

    Many ISPs correctly disable email and you either have to use their approved SMTP (mail) gateway or use another method to deliver email.

    Try one of these plugins.

    I’ve used this one in the past.

    Jan, I’m sorry I’m not proficient enough (yet) to thoroughly understand your reply, as I’m a “newbie” at WordPress, having just started for the first time yesterday. Correct me if I’m wrong: The above links you had given don’t create the contact table itself, do they?

    They don’t create a contact table but they can help your WordPress installation deliver email.
