1.9.7 – 11 August 2017
Contact: Added user configurable field for ‘From:’ address.
This update inserted an email address in the from field that is making the inbound emails appear to come from me. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP! I have many instances of different contact forms on my site.
Hi Tmctigue,
You can alter the from email address by opening the contact form and opening the settings group. After the From email address to the desired email address. To clarify, this change was done for anti-spam reasons.
I want the “From” email to be from the sender(The person submitting the form). As it was. How do I do that?
Hi Tmctigue,
Unfortunately, this is no longer possible (this is what was causing people issues). If you reply to any of the emails from the contact form, you’ll reply to the correct person as we’ve set the email as the reply to email instead.
I use the reCaptcha feature and have had no problems with spam. FYI. Thanks.
Hi Tmctigue,
To clarify, the anti-spam changes are to prevent mail servers from rejecting the email rather than preventing spam emails being sent to you. Does that make sense?
