Just curious of your thoughts here - recently, we realized our notifications were not being sent once again, so I changed plugins, and now 2 of my 3 most important forms come through, but still having issues with a few others. I'm contacting my host as well. Any thoughts? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-notification-to-administrator-not-being-sent#post-116161 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:49:53 +0000 David Peralty 116161@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't know of any other ways around the issue other than using SMTP.

Does Gravity Forms use it's own PHP sendmail function or does it somehow hook into WordPress for this? </p>
