[wp-hackers] WordPress related Emails Not Sending

[Rafael Ehlers]

A bunch of hosts are now enforcing *SPF* - Sender Police Framework , so you
must create a mail box with the same domain, just to send emails through
applications.

E.g.

domain -> example.com
mailbox -> sender at example.com

on your contact-form: From: sender at example.com
in additional headers: Return-Path: sender at example.com

That should work because Gmail dont use SPF, but Gmail for domains must use!

Best regards,
Rafael Ehlers
