* The latest version of Contact Form 7 says I have 2 configuration errors. Can
anyone review the code in my form & tell me where the errors are & how to correct
them?

* Same issue here and by forum rules reposted [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-this-email-address-does-not-belong-to-the-same-domain-as-th?replies=1#post-8056217)
with a bit more details as to why I think it’s an incorrect validation.

* [@jan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan/) “… where passersby come …”
* Okay. So I’m “merely” a “passerby.” It’s like I live in “flyover” country.
* As you are obviously quite aware, I do NOT live here. I do not CARE to live here.
* I had a problem. I Googled it. This site was suggested as having experts. I asked
a question hoping to solve my problem.
* What I got was a lot of officious replies telling me I had made a serious faux
pas in the protocol of those who DO live here.
* Sorry. I wanted your help, not your scolding.
* But, I really got NO help. Just first-grade-teacher responses on how to stand
in a straight line before I would be given the help I sought.
* Please rethink your behaviors. Do your first function first: help one another.
Once you have, you can certainly suggest a change in behavior for my next visit.
But that’s not what you did.
* I’m out.

* That wasn’t a scolding. I was attempting to explain how things work in these
forums. It’s a pity you went for an argument instead but some people are just
that way. Volunteering here is a thankless job after all.
* Thanks for the lecture. I’m sure I’ll take that into consideration when dealing
with your posts here in the future.

* This CF7 is to prevent spoofing sent my PHP mail. I have been using an SMTP plugin
so the errors I’m getting are moot. Also, I have specified a replyto email using
my website’s URL in the Additional Headers section, so again, it’s moot.
* I don’t know why this plugin was updated to include these errors since my form
still works.
* What the plugin creator cannot understand is that users DO NOT WANT to specify
a replyto email in the From Field because when we receive emails that people
have sent via CF7, we just want to hit reply.
* If we DO just hit reply, we’re actually replying to ourselves.
* Who the hell wants to do that? Clients certainly do not understand this and it
is just adding aggravation and problems.

* Can someone would consider my problem (I’ve written above) and possibly help
me with it ?! Please!

* [@toniintro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toniintro/) – if create a separate
post including the relevant info, I’ll be happy to help you solve your problem
there.

* [@john-pierre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john-pierre/) Cornelissen –
thanks for using a separate post – it’s really helpful for volunteers answering
questions in this forum.
