Configuration errors

Same issue here and by forum rules reposted here with a bit more details as to why I think it’s an incorrect validation.

The same problem.
My Form section is:
`<p>Your Name (required)<br />
[text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />
[email* your-email] </p>

<p>Subject<br />
[text* your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message<br />
[textarea* your-message] </p>

<p>[submit “Send”]</p>`

My Mail section is:

<strong>To:</strong>    [email protected]
  <strong>From:</strong>  [your-name] <[email protected]>
  <strong>Additional Headers:</strong> Reply-To: [your-email]
  <strong>Message Body: From:</strong> [your-name] <[your-email]>
                      Subject: [your-subject]

 <strong>Message Body:</strong>
[your-message]

Error message : There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.

@jan “… where passersby come …”

Okay. So I’m “merely” a “passerby.” It’s like I live in “flyover” country.

As you are obviously quite aware, I do NOT live here. I do not CARE to live here.

I had a problem. I Googled it. This site was suggested as having experts. I asked a question hoping to solve my problem.

What I got was a lot of officious replies telling me I had made a serious faux pas in the protocol of those who DO live here.

Sorry. I wanted your help, not your scolding.

But, I really got NO help. Just first-grade-teacher responses on how to stand in a straight line before I would be given the help I sought.

Please rethink your behaviors. Do your first function first: help one another. Once you have, you can certainly suggest a change in behavior for my next visit. But that’s not what you did.

I’m out.

That wasn’t a scolding. I was attempting to explain how things work in these forums. It’s a pity you went for an argument instead but some people are just that way. Volunteering here is a thankless job after all.

Thanks for the lecture. I’m sure I’ll take that into consideration when dealing with your posts here in the future.

This CF7 is to prevent spoofing sent my PHP mail. I have been using an SMTP plugin so the errors I’m getting are moot. Also, I have specified a replyto email using my website’s URL in the Additional Headers section, so again, it’s moot.

I don’t know why this plugin was updated to include these errors since my form still works.

What the plugin creator cannot understand is that users DO NOT WANT to specify a replyto email in the From Field because when we receive emails that people have sent via CF7, we just want to hit reply.

If we DO just hit reply, we’re actually replying to ourselves.

Who the hell wants to do that? Clients certainly do not understand this and it is just adding aggravation and problems.

Can someone would consider my problem (I’ve written above) and possibly help me with it ?! Please!

@toniintro – if create a separate post including the relevant info, I’ll be happy to help you solve your problem there.

@john-pierre Cornelissen – thanks for using a separate post – it’s really helpful for volunteers answering questions in this forum.
