 * Hi!
 * I have a problem in setting up the contact form 7.
    Regarding the “From” feed:
   From the WordPress back office contact form 7 plugin,
 * in the TAB FORM I have written: [email* o-seu-e-mail placeholder “E-mail”]
    in
   the TAB MAIL I have written: [o-seu-e-mail] <contacto@joaomatosdigital.pt] ->
   Note that this e-mail is the only e-mail address with a domain identical to the
   site.
 * What happens is that when I (or other person) fills the form fields in the front-
   end and fill the e-mail field (for example hotmail) I receive the message but
   the “From” field in the e-mail I receive contains my own e-mail address. I want
   to know is the e-mail address of the person who sends the e-mail so I can contact
   her.
 * I look some tutorials but I think i’m missing out something.
 * Thanks

 * Can I see the screenshot of your Mail tab? And where is the site?

 * Everything seems to be working correctly as you have set up. Message’s From address
   is your own address because you set the address in the From field. You don’t 
   find submitter’s email address because there is no [o-seu-e-mail] used in the
   mail contents.
