You don’t want to set the from address as that looks *really* spammy (e.g. a forged from address).
You’d use the reply-to header in the email to do that in a way that’s more likely to make it through a spam filter.
Adding a UI to select the email field to use for the reply-to is on the roadmap.
Thank you for the follow-up Nick. Yes, the reply-to would be huge 🙂
Also, this means that you’d no longer recommend this method since it’s spammy right? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/send-admin-email-as-if-from-submitter/
Thank you
Correct, it’ll get flagged by any decent spam filtering system as highly suspicious.
Thank you Nick. This can be closed.
FYI- The next release will auto add the default email field as the Reply-to header.
You the man!! I hope it’s soon 😀
@nickciske – you are the man but also is it possible to… not have the [email] field as the replyto?
sorry to be *that person* who asks this!
:DDDDD Let me try! Thank you, today is a good day.
@arcticmouse81
There’s a filter to override it. I’ll add some UI to the settings page shortly to make that easier.
For now I wanted to push out some rebranding changes.
thank you so much for replying. i absolutely glossed over that filter in the documentation. thank you again!
