    Hi ! I did not find any topics about that, so I choose to create one. The emails sent to administrators via the contact form are classified as phishing... It is the 1st time we have this problem with a contact form (any kind : several plugins or self developped forms).

    Do you have a clue to solve this problem ? It is not really a big problem, but quite annoying.

    (Using Contact form 7 v3.0)

    Thank you very much for the kind help you provide here on the forums !

    A tad late but I found a work around so if anyone else has this problem to this by editing the plugins source code:

    In the plugins editor open: contact-form-7/includes/classes.php

    Find:
    $headers = "From: $sender\n";

    and replace it with:
    $headers = "From: Web Enquiry <emailaddress@yourwebdomain.com>\n Reply-To: $sender\n";

    replace: emailaddress@yourwebdomain.com with a suitable email address from your domain, its because the email client cross referencing the domain from which the email address is sent from to that in the header.

    It will show up in your inbox as from Web Enquiry, but if you hit reply, it will go to the appropriate address

    There is no need to touch that...
    You can configure those setting in the form! For more info, consult cf7 docs.
