CF7 Flamingo for ENFOLD Forms

Hi Stephan,

CF7 Flamingo caused issues with CF7 when Recaptcha is used so I don’t do it by default. It also bloats your database with contact form submissions.

I often recommend using a gmail account as a relay if there are mail delivery problems.
Try using an wp mail smtp by WPforms plugin.
You can use the other SMTP option to add a free Gmail account and use it as a relay.

Emails are then sent by Gmail meaning you get a record of the email being sent in the Gmail account’s sent items. This gives you an additional backup without bloating your database with contact form submissions. HOWEVER bare in mind that you are still relying on an external connection to Gmail, but because it is smtp it should simply stay in the outbox or as a draft if it fails to send. Therefore you still have a record of the message.

This is also a neat way to get around some web hosts mailservers getting blocked by outlook.com/hotmail addresses. Gmail doesn’t get blocked unless the content is spammy.
