    I have WordPress installed on Yahoo Small Business. I am trying to setup a simple contact form but keep getting this error:

    Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

    This is what is in the form field:

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

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

    <p>Subject
    [text your-subject] </p>

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

    <p>[submit “Send”]</p>

    This is what I have in the To and From fields:

    To: [email protected]
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>

    Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

    I have the same problem. phpmail and smtp doesn’t work. When i try testing via WP-Mail-SMTP from admin panel, everything working fine.

    Problem solved here:

    In the form settings in the ‘from’ field have to add properly address like your smtp sender email. My fault.

    You will not be able to use collected email addresses as the From: email address on a Yahoo server.

    I’ve written an article at https://kb.cf7skins.com/yahoo-dmarc-issue/ to help others deal with this Yahoo DMARC issue.

    See also Contact Form 7 not Sending Emails which explains in more detail the main reasons for failed Contact Form 7 email deliveries and offers some possible solutions.

    Thanks! I put an email address from my domain in the from field and that fixed it.
