"Message From Address" Field able to use ContactForm7 variable?

    Hello there,

    I am trying to use Postman SMTP with Contact Form 7.
    Email submissions from the contact form 7 form are working, but the resulting email uses the “Message From Address” in Postman SMTP settings as the “From” email address.
    When the email gets to the client’s inbox, I would like the “From” field of the form submission emails to be who the submission is actually from, example would be using the Contact Form 7 variable [your-email] from the form and pass that instead of the email in the “Message From Address” setting of Postman SMTP.

    Is there any way to do this so the client is actually responding the the submitter of the form and not the unattended mailbox that was setup only for the form to function.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes, you can uncheck the box in Advanced Settings > Message > Message From Address that says “Prevent plugins from modifying this field”.

    There’s a catch: Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo, and now Mandrill (as of Sep 2015) will ignore Postman’s value and replace it with your actual email address. Lesser SMTP servers may be more relaxed.

    You didn’t ask but… for a case like Gmail I usually create a no-reply@domain.com email address to set as the From so it’s obvious to all parties the email comes from a computer.

    Is there any way to do this so the client is actually responding the the submitter of the form and not the unattended mailbox that was setup only for the form to function.
