Email wont send to admin – Version 4.6.4.p

Hi there,

After upgrading to Version 4.6.4.p, and without making any changes to the plug in, the admin is not receiving emails from it’s own email address. Eg info@dogtagdogtraining.com.au doesnt even receive test emails. I do receive them if I put in a gmail address (or similar) info@dogtagdogtraining.com.au is able to send and receive fine in my email program & webmail.

My settings:
Registration is auto set to “Approved”
The default message template is set to “Event Admin” Only
The To/From is set to: [EVENT_AUTHOR_EMAIL] * but i have tried multiple combinations including info@dogtagdogtraining.com.au & lee@dogtagdogtraining.com.au

As mentioned, sending test emails to info@ or lee@ wont work. Only sending test emails to a gmail account (or similar) will work.

Hi William,

This sounds like an issue with the mailserver marking those emails as spam.

I would recommend using a transactional email service such as Mandrill which removes your hosts mailserver from the equation.

You can find more information here:

With a step by step guide to setup Mandrill on your site here:

Hi Tony, thanks for that. I have installed and tried Mandrill but my problem still remains. I can send to anyone but an xxx@dogtagdogtraining.com.au email address. I might have a chat to the web host to see if they can offer a suggestion.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the issue that is occurring but could check to see if this domain only accepts mail from an approved senders list?
