# Hide error messages and Help File in general

 * Mail delivery is spotty at best when “Hide error messages” is enabled. With this
   box checked, mail is rarely delivered in any case. If I disable this option, 
   delivery and filtering happen as expected.
 * Suggestions:
 * You should include instructions on setting up the configuration options for this
   plugin. Most things are straight forward and clear/obvious, but not all.
 * I am unclear what “Restricted Emails” does. Does this limit which addresses forms
   can be sent to? If so, please spell that out. If not, what are these?
 * Your filters tab is there, but you have to manually type in those [filters] back
   on the BASIC tab to populate, select and then add them. Seems like 3 extra steps.
   Why not just make them checkboxes on the same tab?

 * Restricted emails are the emails you would like the plugin to filter as spam

 * The enabled “Hide error messages” mail delivery problem is a real issue that 
   needs to be figured out and fixed. It must be unchecked if you want *any* mail(
   spam or not) to be delivered at all.

 * Please update the plugin to the latest version and let me know if you still have
   the issue. An update has been released.

 * After my first round of testing, the deliverability issue with “Hide error messages”
   checked seems to be resolved. I will do some more testing and keep an eye on 
   it though.
 * Thank you!
