Receive Bounced Mail

    Is there a way to receive, or redirect, mail that bounces or fails when sent from contact form 7? Right now, if the form sends mail, and something goes wrong, the error vanishes in the mist.

    Another contact form we’ve used before had a fail-to: header tag that somehow redirected these bounces.

    Thanks

    Is there a link where I can find information on this – fail-to: header tag?

    The SMTP protocol says that bounces are always sent to the sender of the message. For you, that’s probably whatever CF7 has in the From: header.

    Right now, if the form sends mail, and something goes wrong, the error vanishes in the mist.

    Sounds like your From: header is not your own address. Naughty. If you install and configure this SMTP plugin, the Envelope sender (where bounces go to) will be set as your own address, and the From address in the email will be preserved as your visitor’s address.

    There’s no such header.
