Hi Karl,
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I'm sorry but i'm not really a web person and have only a basic knowledge of Wordpress so I couldn't find the logs you mentioned.
I uploaded the WP Mail SMTP plug-in as you suggested, as far as i can see it has options to configure where I send emails from but I'm a bit confused as to how that effects other people outside of the site sending inquiries through the contact form? Thanks in advance for your help
Matt
