sorry to hear its not working, what email are you getting still? Is it the wordpress@yoursite.com email? If so try the 3rd option in cimy “Overwrite the sender only for the WordPress default “. I had to do this on our login site so the emails sent from the password reset wasnt from wordpress@mysite.com. Try that out. Im also assuming you disabled configure smtp?

NOTE: This is not a fix, but something I’ve been toying with, it may or may not work. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I’ve been playing around with a small hack into the code, I have to test still, and it has drawbacks but for what I have to do it might work.

For my site, we are using CM7 for Contact Us, and need the “From” to be 100% the email the user puts in so our helpdesk can sort it properly.

So what I did

was in

contact-form-7->includes->classes.php

on approx line 400, you need to make the sender var global.

global $sender;
$sender = preg_replace_callback( $regex, $callback, $mail_template['sender'] );

Then on around line 427
add in 2 filters

extract( $components );

                 //overide filter for "From" address
                add_filter('wp_mail_from','cr_set_mail_from');
		function cr_set_mail_from(){
                    global $sender;
                    return $sender;
		}
		add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','cr_set_mail_name');
		function cr_set_mail_name(){
                    $blankness = '';
                    return $blankness;
                }

		$headers = "From: $sender\n";

In order for this to work, on the CM7 options for the form “From” field, you have to use the email address only, you cannot include the name of the person or the <>, because the filter wp_mail_from only takes in an email. (so use [your-email] and not [your-name] <[your-email]>)
so what the new filter does is override the “From” address with the email you set in the Form options, [your-email].

I’ve only briefly tested it but will do more tomorrow, if you have a test server I highly suggest you test it out there first before doing anything.

Im not sure but you might have to remove the filters after the mail is sent, but I’ve tried sending an email via another plugin and the filter does not seem to effect it (sending from the email set in configure smtp).

Also note, if you use [your-name] <[your-email]> , you can use regular expressions to extract the [your-name] and [your-email] and then plug in the values to the functions the filters are calling, though there might be a lot to consider in creating that regular expression given the [your-name] field might have some weird things in it.

Again this is just some toying with the plugin, I would appreciate any input or suggestions or even testing on your end.
