You are welcome Mr. Alam
I hope this will help others who face the same issue.

I always install plugins on a test WordPress site before I install them on my ‘real’ website.
On my dev environment, I have two WordPress installations. One is for testing my plugins and others’ plugins, and the other installation is for the actual website that I will push to staging then production.
I do my best not to pollute my database with 3rd party plugins before I thoroughly test them.

And my advice to this plugin’s developer is to put a disclaimer in the plugin description to advise users to install the plugin on a test website before they install it on their actual website.
People who use WordPress range from seasoned developers to people who know nothing about web development.

So, that’s my two cents. ??

I have to add that this only happens with Gmail setup in SMTP Mailer.
It does not happen with sendinblue.
I have not tested the other mail service providers yet.

I had the same problem when I configured SMTP Mailer.

I think (I am not sure) the problem with Contact Form 7 and SMTP mailer configuration is the ‘From field’.
With SMTP mailer configuration, you have to put a value in the ‘From’ field, and Contact Form 7 requires the email to belong to the site domain, otherwise, the relaying mail servers will think it’s a spoofed address.
You don’t need to put any value in the ‘From’ field when you configure SMTP Mailer with GMail or Sendinblue. Just leave the ‘From’ empty.
That’s my 5 cents. ??

Oh, Mr. Alam correct me if I am wrong please!
