Hopefully an explanation or help will be released soon. * [ilectron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilectron/) * (@ilectron) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086147) * **the same problem** Contact Form 7 4.4 has introduced Configuration Validator, which validates contact form configurations to detect errors leading to mail delivery failure or other troubles.

Please come with a solution to delete this error, hopefully during the weekend. 🙂 I can’t believe solid CF7 failed on an update. * [Piani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbmasterpianise/) * (@webbmasterpianise) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086166) * Was wondering this myself first but if you continue in on the tabs and look you will see a red error suggestion under the field that seems to be wrong. * Nice to get error suggestions. But I have a forms that work exact as i want so I am not sure if this “error” need attention. * In e-mail setup “From” field i use – **[Name] <[Email]>** – and after tests this works as I want to display the sender of the form. But now i get the error message“ This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.” * I hope this is noting i need to adjust or? Please advice. * Maby a function/checkbox “ignore error message” could be a fix? * [talayika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/talayika/) * (@talayika) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086168) * Same problem!! Please fix this!!!! * [talayika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/talayika/) * (@talayika) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086169) * My error is in from field “This field has syntax errors.” WTF???????? * [vaarkamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaarkamp/) * (@vaarkamp) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086170) * I have the same problem as talayika and Piani, I have a configuration error in the from field. * Mine is saying “This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.” * I have set it up as **[your-name] <[your-email]>**. * And as Piani mentioned the form is working as it should. I don’t get why there is an configuration error than. * Can anybody help me with that? * [crismoreno666](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crismoreno666/) * (@crismoreno666) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086171) * Same problem here. I have a contact form on a subdomain. Now the sending email is not validated although it belongs to the main domain. The contact form shows me an “Email server problem”. Please fix this! * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086180) * Hi, * Put the email from the site, but in Settings then General – email address surrounded by “<” and “>“ [your-email] * line sudject, put by example Sudject [your-subject] * [vaarkamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaarkamp/) * (@vaarkamp) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086183) * Hi Noaneo, * I have tried your suggestion but it does not work. Because when you send an email in reply of the contact form email it is than send to [email@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/email@example.com?output_format=md)… * That’s tedious. * anonymized-14293447 * (@anonymized-14293447) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message/#post-7086184) * Guys, I believe there’s no point in trying to hack this. The validation is wrong because it’s implemented wrong. Just read the suggestion given in [CF7’s Q&A ](http://contactform7.com/configuration-errors/) and you’ll understand that there’s nothing wrong with our email forms. The error messages should be ignored, it’s just annoying that they are there.
