 * Hi,
   thank you for this plugin. I’m a huge fan of the Meow ecosystem.
 * I switched from [https://wpmailsmtp.com/](https://wpmailsmtp.com/) in order to
   get logs (crucial for my business).
 * The Meow SMTP works fine, but I noticed a problem with CF7. I set up this additional
   fields in the module settings in order to have multiple recipients.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       To: [_site_admin_email]== Additional ==cc:francesco@domain.itReply-To: [your-email]
       ```
   
 * With the old SMTP plugin it worked just fine, but with the new Meow mailer the“
   CC” fields are missing and I didn’t receive the email. The result appeared in
   the Meow logs:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Date: 2026-07-28 11:54:51Status: SentProvider: Generic SMTPFrom: SiteName <info@domain.it>To: info@domain.itSubject: [Contact Form] "Nuovo invio"Content: ...
       ```
   
 * I also tried with mail-tester.com and the result was 10/10.
 * Thank you for your help

 * _Some updates here_: Even if in the log I can’t see the “CC” recipients, I fixed
   this problem by turning on the “Force From” setting under the SMTP credentials,
   CF7 was overwriting it.
 * Thank you anyways.

 * Hi [@francy27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/francy27/),
 * Thanks for coming back with the solution, and you diagnosed it correctly. Contact
   Form 7 sets its own From: header, which takes priority over the sender configured
   in Meow Mailer unless Force From is enabled. That mismatch is the usual reason
   mail gets rejected or filtered, so turning it on was the right fix.
 * About the CC, it was actually being sent the whole time. Every provider in the
   plugin passes CC and BCC through, but the logs only ever displayed the “To” field,
   so your CC recipient was invisible even though they received the email.
 * **Both are fixed in the next release, 0.1.6**:
 * The log detail now shows Cc, Bcc, and Reply-To whenever the email had them. The
   log list shows a “+1” next to the recipient when there are extra ones, so you
   can see it without opening the entry. The CSV export includes Cc and Bcc columns.
   And the settings will warn you when a form plugin is likely overriding your sender,
   pointing at Force From.
 * Nothing to do on your side. Your existing log entries already have this data 
   stored, so the CC recipients will simply appear once you update! 😊
 * Thanks for telling me, its really helpful!

 * Hi,
   thanks a lot for your updates.
 * I’ve just installed the new version. Everything works just fine.
 * Here’s the log for the last Contact Form email:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Date: 2026-07-28 16:36:27Status: SentProvider: Generic SMTPFrom: Business <no-reply@app.domain.it>To: info@domain.itCc: e1@domain.it, e2@domain.it, e3@domain.it, e4@domain.itReply-To: customer@domain.itSubject: [Contact Form] "Hi Test"
       ```
   
 * Thanks again for this simple but wonderful plugin!

 * Wonderful, thanks for confirming! That screenshot is exactly what the new log
   view was made for, I am very happy to see that, it’s perfect! 😊
 * By the way, Meow Mailer is only a few weeks old, so it doesn’t have many reviews
   yet. If you feel it deserves one, it would genuinely help others find it: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/meow-mailer/reviews/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/meow-mailer/reviews/#new-post).
   Of course, no pressure! 
   Cheers,Jordy.
