The way e-mail notifications work in Gravity Forms is that Gravity Forms uses WordPress' wp-mail.php (sendmail) system to send out e-mails. And your server is just supposed to pass them on. This isn't always what happens though. </p> <p>Here are our troubleshooting steps for notifications:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Troubleshooting_Notifications" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Troubleshooting_Notifications</a></p> <p>I recommend you contact your web host, and/or switch to SMTP to see if you can rectify the issue. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/e-mail-notificationsforwarding-coming-in-several-hours-late#post-116578 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 05:19:46 +0000 justinmbp 116578@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We haven't had this issue until recently. When someone submits a form, it is set up to forward to our dispatch e-mail. However, lately they have been coming in several hours late and it seems to be at random. Sometimes they're really late, and sometimes it is immediately. Any ideas? </p>
