    I found the solution with the help of my email provider.
    The problem was not in the mail server it was in the wordpress last update.
    When I did the last wordpress update it changed a parameter, particularly in the dashboard, in the settings tab, in the mail option , in mailer, WordPress select “Send all emails via SMTP option” but in my case my provider told me I have to change for the option under this “Use the PHP mail ( ) function to send emails”.
    After that now it is working perfect.
    I hope someone have this problem can resolved with this advice.

    @merylu – Glad you solved your particular problem. It’s sure an unusual problem and as such unlikely to apply to most other users.

    If this resolves your question, it helps others contributing here, if you can flag your post as [resolved]??
