In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Change size of form fieldUsually, I add something like this to the bottom of style.css (or use the custom CSS panel of your theme if you have one):
.wpcf7-form textarea { height: 50px; width: 100px; }
Sometimes using max-width works better phones, tablets, etc. You may need to add the !important rule to overwrite the default value set by the theme, i.e:
max-width: 100%!important;
Not sure if this is helpful or not, but what about changing the form fields to:
[email email-100], [email email-200], [email email-300]
Then under the mail tab in the To or BCC field:
[email-100], [email-200], [email-300]

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Contact Form 7 Output Email BlockedHave you thought about creating a new Gmail account like [email protected] and using it to install the plugin PostMan SMTP? After setting it up, the Gmail account would then be actually sending the mail instead of the website, I believe…

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Selectable Recipient With PipesI wonder if the comma separating the City, State could be causing an issue?
I’m not sure if this will be of use to you, but below is how I have this set up on a few different websites, and it functions perfectly. It looks very similar to yours with a few minor changes. I included a generic [email protected] option that’s copied each time a form submission is sent just as a backup in case something falls through the cracks.
In the Form tab:
[select* your-recipient include_blank "John Smith|[email protected]" "Brett Smith|[email protected]" "Karen Smith|[email protected]" "No Preference|[email protected]"]
In the Mail tab, “To” field:
[email protected], [your-recipient]
In the email body, where you want it to specify the recipient:
<strong>Job Application for: </strong> [_raw_your-recipient]

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Form Submissions – Not Being ReceivedHave you tried changing the receiving address to a different mail client to see if messages come through?
Note, before you make any of the changes below, you might try logging into your file manager, opening the mail folder, then selecting “New”. Sometimes rejected messages will be saved there.
Next, I would try installing the plugin Postman SMTP so that an actual email account will be sending website mail instead of WordPress’ standard PHP mail function.
In my experience, this problem was combination of using shared hosting (and the website’s IP getting listed in Composite Blocking List) combined with Outlook’s prodigious spam filters. Upgrading to a dedicated IP and SSL may be something to consider as well.
Here’s how to set up Postman SMTP after installing it: https://vimeo.com/128589255.
Hope this helps!
