    Very Frustrating. All my forms worked perfectly. After the Contact Form7 4.4 update no forms will send and I get an error message:Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method..
    I’m not a coder. I’m a musician. This update is losing me money!
    I followed the instructions here:
    https://contactform7.com/2016/01/15/red-border-error-issue-on-wordpress-441/ NOPE.
    Tried many many variations. The developer’s notes sure seem like he is pretty much clueless on this issue. He should release the OLD plug-in again while he tests the new code.

    I tried creating a form from scratch using the following code from Buzzcodes post… didn’t work form me either.

    <p>Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)
    [email* your-email] </p>

<p>Subject (required)
    [text* your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message
    [textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

<strong>Mail </strong>
To: [your name] <[your email]>

From: validemailaddress@yourdomain.com

Subject: [your subject]

Additional Headers: Reply-to: [your email]

    Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? Can anyone post the format exactly as is should be in simple terms for a newbie coder please? I’d appreciate the help. KEV

    [email* your-email] </p>

    1.
    Under Mail > From you seem to have 2 x email addresses. Change to:

    From: [your-name] <me@myemail.com>

    2.
    Make sure Reply-To: [your-email] is in the Additional Headers field.

    3.
    Under Message body:

    From: [your-name] [your-email]
    Subject: [your subject]

    [your-message]

    Solved It!
    This is what worked for me:
    1. Deactived the Contact7 form and reactivated it.
    2. Contacted my Service provider – Changed my SMTP settings to a new Port.
    3: I used the following code in the Contact 7 Form (4.41)

    FORM TAB

    <p>Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </p>

    <p>Your Email (required)
    [email* your-email] </p>

    <p>Subject (required)
    [text* your-subject] </p>

    <p>Your Message
    [textarea your-message] </p>

    <p>[submit “Send”]</p>

    Mail Tab

    To:
    me@mydomain.com

    From:
    me@mydomain.com

    Subject:
    [your-subject]

    Additional Headers:
    Reply-To:[your-email]

    Message Body:
    From:[your-name] [me@mydomain.com]

    Subject: [your-subject]

    Message Body:
    [your-message]

    Additional Headers: Reply-to: [me@mydomain.com]
