Email goes to junk folder using contact form 7 plugin in Wordpress [closed]

Question

I am using contact form 7 (version 3.3) plugin to create a form and to send email. I have only 3 field:

1. firstname
2. lastname
3. email

When I click on submit button, email goes in junk folder.

Answer 1

The default CF 7 'from' field quite often results in the notifications being marked as spam. Change it to a proper email address, even [email protected] will work better than the default (as loan points out - missed that when I answered!).

If that doesn't help and it's actually the server you are hosting the site on that has been blacklisted, have a look at the WP plugin that allows you to use SMTP rather than the PHP mail() function.

That can sort it too.
