Hi,
Instead of using that format, kindly try to use the syntax below. Add the email address after the name
[your-name] <abc@def.de>
Make sure there are no apostrophe.
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Hi Drebeltrami,
The Syntax error is not bogus, you are having this issue because you are putting your name within a pair of angle brackets.
This informs contact form 7 that a email address is contained within, which in your case is seen as invalid as you have no “@.com”.
To fix this issue you could replace from with Andrea Beltrami <[your-email]>
Please note however that this is not best practice as a lot of emails will be seen as spam, see contact form 7 email issues
Also if you are to do this if the user does not fill in their e-mail the form will not send and so your-email must be a required field.
Ok, so I found the answer in another thread:

The from needs to have your actual email address from your domain (so you@yoursite.com). If the error message was actually that (instead of “syntax error”) that might be much more helpful.
Now I have to get it to work, because I changed it, tested it, but never got my form submission. Time to check with my host.
Pete
