    Hi

    I have the following in the From Field: [full-name] <[email]>

    Instead of inserting the SENDERS email (which it does in the message body!) it inserts the RECIPIENT (to) email address

    Can anyone explain why and what should go in there

    (I have read the documentation but it is a clear a mud to me)

    Thanks
    Malcolm

    Notice the From field in the email is showing the RECIPIENT email but in the body of the email it shows the SENDER email. Both use the [your-email] tag

    Thanks

    Forgot to mention – I have changed the email tag from [email] as mentioned in my original post to [your-email] in case there was anyproblem using just email as a tag.

    Note: there is a Sender email configuration error here but your documentation says it is ok to ignore if advice followed. Think I have done that

    I disabled Easy WP SMTP plugin and tried another test on the contact form
