carlos, here are directions for how to get it to work: https://elftest.net/contact-form-7-and-anti-spam/

25 each, yes, and 25 * 6 is 125, so that could be the cause. You may just have too much going on at once.

Are your 6 sites getting a lot of traffic?

Looking at your other posts…

You seem to be using under 50megs of memory, so that really shouldn’t cause things to crash.

What plugins are you using?

That depends entirely on what sort of plugins you’re using and how much traffic you get ??

How much memory are you using now, or do you not know?

I’m sorry you’re having problems with your site.

Yesterday we were suffering from a network outage, due to issues with our upstream provider. You can read about the details here: https://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2012/09/06/intermittent-outage-in-one-of-our-los-angeles-data-centers/

If this impacted you, you can request we move your DB and fileserver to the same physical location, so in the future this sort of issue won’t cause you any downtime.

Yeah, that’s what I meant when I said that we prevent you from sending email from an address that isn’t yourdomain.com. I should have been more clear, though and I’ll try to be in the future!

Glad it got fixed!

You can try https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ first, to see if that fixes it.

If that fails, please open up a ticket with DH and someone can look at your email logs to see if it’s really being sent.

I will caveat that WP seems to be sending emails so it’s probably how you set up the form. I just installed it on my DH test site and I have no issues receiving emails. Did you check your spam?

True, but if the server checks on [email protected] and rejects based on it’s non-existence, then WP will never be able to send any emails, so I think we’re probably okay there ??

(wordpress@ is the account WP uses when sending registration emails after all)

Hi, it looks like you may be running afoul of our spam prevention tactics, which prevent you from sending email from an address that isn’t yourdomain.com

Your own domain email should be working, though, which is pretty odd! Are you using dreamhost’s mail servers or gmail?

bestwebsoft – Would it be possible to make that customizable? That is send from either the person submitting the form or a generic [email protected] account?

nargenta,

We have some directions on how to FTP here: https://wiki.dreamhost.com/FTP

If that doesn’t help, please open up a ticket and someone will be happy to help you out ??

Sorry for the switching of accounts here… I have a brain somewhere.

The permissions on your folders under wp-content are a little messed up and are missing the WRITE permission. They should all be 755

From your wp-content folder you can do this:

chmod 755 themes plugins

That’ll hit the top level folders, and should let WP install plugins and themes. You may also want to go into themes and plugins and reset those folders (I wouldn’t run the command recursively unless you do something like this to make sure you only change directories – https://www.accessdataservices.com/blog/recursively-chmod-directories-only/ )

If that still doesn’t work, do open a ticket.

Also! If you think you’re still having issues with being hacked, please open up a ticket and mention the history, so one of our hack experts can peel back your onion and check.
