    Hi Linda, So is the “Ask a Question” a specific plugin or is it merely a form plugin? – by the looks of your source file you are using Contact Form 7 right? If so have you considered posting your question in their support page?
    They also have a great tutorial on how to setup the form: Setting up Mail
    LMK either way. ??

    Thanks g.
    This is a website i am trying to build for my new business – i am a nurse
    The “ask a question” is merely the name i gave to the page
    I am trying to set up my own website by following a you tube video
    It is when i attempted to test ( email function) the plug in using Contact Form 7
    it did not send the email to me which is my hotmail accopunt which i set up when downloading wordpress.
    I asked the support team from hostgator and they said it was a problem with the domain not being accepted by hotmails filters….
    i do not know how to fix this
    When i changed my domain name server from godaddy to hostgator ( the domain name i wanted was not avilable on host gator)
    This was an error on Leaf DNS
    FAIL: MX Record IPs Have rDNS Records
    None of your MX record IP addresses have corresponding reverse DNS entries (PTR records). If these MX records are used to send outgoing mail this will cause them to trip anti spam filters. Many SMTP servers will not accept mail from an IP with no reverse DNS.
    It seems like i have to set up my IP address with reverse DNS……???
    Help PLEASE!!!!

    Try using an SMTP plugin:
