Why does from address always show the server's name?

    This has happened ever since Ive been using CF7 for years now… Im not doing anything different as far as setting up the FROM field. Usually, lets say I set it to show <[email protected]> . When the mail is received, it would show From: [email protected] via a2plcpnl0254.prod.iad2.secureserver.net

    What is the via …..secureserver.net???

    I know that is the name of the server the site is hosted on. A cPanel shared hosting account on GoDaddy to be exact. On most emails I have seen populated through a server, I never see via… servername. So why when using Contact Form 7, it shows the via…servernname? And is there any way I could fix this?? This is something I’ve been wondering for years and I finally had to ask. Thanks

    No one knows?????????????

    I have the same hosting and when I use the mail option BCC, then it always shows the mail server.

    When I do not use any additional header settings and use “FROM” as my domain name then it shows the correct domain name in “VIA” information (in gmail).

    But, if you look at the original information, full header, original message or whatever it is called when you can see the full information before the email body message, the mail server is still displayed.
