    Hello,

    I’m attempting to setup Postman SMTP to be used with ContactForm7 and am having issues.

    I’m able to send a test email message using Postman SMTP, however, when I attempt to send an email using ContactForm7 I’m shown the error message of:

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

    There’s nothing showing in my WordPress debug.log as to why I’m receiving this.

    Check Postman’s email log (Tools > Email Log), you will see CF7’s error there.

    Postman does not write to debug.log unless you enable it in the Advanced tab.

    Your logo is cute ??

    Jason,

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    1. The Tools –> Email Log shows the two test messages that successfully sent from within Postman SMTP, however, shows no messages of any sort of the messages that I’m attempting to send through ContactForm7.

    2. My Contact Form7 “Mail” tab is setup as the following:

    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    Additional Haders: Reply-To: [your-email]

    3. My Form is setup as the following:

    <p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>
<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>
<p>Subject (required)<br />
    [text your-subject] </p>
<p>Message (required)<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Is the CF7 error message orange?

    Jason,

    On one site it is black text outlined in an orange box.

    That’s a spam error, not an SMTP error.

    See https://contactform7.com/faq/i-get-an-error-message-with-an-orange-border-even-though-i-dont-use-akismet/

    That’s why you don’t see it in the Postman log; CF7 never sent it.
