Setting the From email address on completed forms
-
Hello
Just configuring some forms using contact form 7, one thing i need to check.
Is there any way to set the FROM: email address to the person who filled in the form not an email from the domain the website is hosted with,, E.g. [email protected]
-
That will trigger a configuration error as the mail is actually being sent from the website, and this makes the message vulnerable to spam filtering.
One compromise is:
1) FROM:
[your-name] <[[email protected]]>2) MESSAGE BODY:
From [your-name] <[your-email]>3) ADDITIONAL HEADERS:
Reply-To: [your-email]* Change the mail-tags to match the names of the form-tags used.
Where (1) allows you to see the name of the sender in the From field of your mail client, (2) allows you to physically see the sender’s email address and name in the actual message body, and (3) allows you to hit ‘Reply’ in your mail client to reply directly to the message.
