My Joomla forms stopped working one day a couple of weeks ago on one of my websites. The way I found out was when I checked my Google Analytics and saw a lot of hits on the contact form page, but no contact emails. Sure enough, both the standard Joomla contact form and DFContact were erroring out for no apparent reason. Of course 1 & 1 does not provide error logs for it’s shared hosting customers, but I had a pretty good idea what the cause of the problem was. Undoubtedly 1 & 1 had implemented a new email security measure without telling anyone.

Now if  you are a 1 & 1 shared hosting customer, you know how utterly useless calling their customer support is, unless you like talking to a rude american high school dropout or to someone reading off a card in a Filipino sweatshop. So I did the only sensible thing. Moved the site to another web host. Guess what? Forms are working perfectly!
