Contact Form 7 won’t send emails to the same domain

Contact Form 7 won’t send emails to the same domain

We have multiple blogs with wordpress backends and we love the simplicity in using contact form 7.

Recently we found that some of our blogs (especially the new ones) would not send out an email to the same domain that the email is hosted on. Eg. a contact form on domain.com would not send out an email to [email protected] but would send out the email to an address to any other domain (like [email protected])

To solve this issue you need to go to you cPanel > Mail > MX Entry and change the email routing option to “Remote Mail Exchanger”
