Confirming same on FF and Chrome.

I think this is happening because the email domain (gmail.com) in the "To:" field is different to the web domain (somethingelse.com). It just needs real entries adding to the contact form. It will still need testing before going live of course.

Confirming the misconfiguration in the plugin mentioned by @timbocode. This was probably fine for testing, but, both these values should be changed to ClassicPress addresses. Easy fix... just need the correct addresses and a quick test.

In addition to the above, I had to configure an SMTP server. I used https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smtp/ for this.

With that done, this issue is fixed.

Are using Amazon SES here? I still have the details @scottybo sent me to use for the forums.
