Contact form sender email

Sending an email from an address you don’t own will mean you run into problems with countermeasures again email spoofing (e.g SPF), as you’re effectively impersonating the user’s email address to send your email.

You could put the user email address as the name, but send the email from an address you own

For contact form 7 an example would be to put in the “from” field:

[email] <[email protected]>

Or if you also want their name to show you could do something like:

[name] ([email]) <[email protected]

The emails will still come from [email protected] but you’ll have the information in the from field in your mail client or system, which may be enough depending on what you’re trying to achieve.
