Email Setup Not Working

    I can’t seem to get my emails to be sent properly after the form has been filled out. The emails arrive but there is no return email address to the person who filled out the form in the message body or from field. I also see this error in the contact form settings: 1 configuration error found If I change the from field to my email address the config error disappears but then I have no way to answer the contact request because it is my email address that shows up not the senders.

    Here is what I have setup:
    To: my email address
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]> (also tried [your-email])

    Message Body:
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]> (Also tried just [your-email])
    [your-contact]

    Message Body:
    [your-message]

    Okay I got it to work with <[your-email]> in the from field and [your-email] in the body field. However, I still see the “1 Configuration Error Found” message and then in the actual mail configuration I also see this warning: “This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.” If I remove the <[your-email]> from the from: field I don’t see the warnings but the from address is my own address and not the senders. Any ideas?

    Try this:

    To: your-email-address
    From: [your-name] <wordpress@your-email-address>
    Additional Headers: Reply-To: [your-email]

    The message will show as being from the sender’s name and sent from your domain (as that is where it is being sent from) but the additional headers allows you to use REPLY in your mail client to reply to sender’s actual email address.

    Leave the Message Body as follows so you can see the sender’s email address in the message:

    Message Body:
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    [your-contact]

    Message Body:
    [your-message]
