I believe as an editor you can upload your POEdit file.

It seems that the French translations are done, but waiting approval.

If you would like to become an official French Editor for Postman, I can ask for the translation team to add you as an approver.

It sounds like your Contact Form is using an independent manner to send email, and not using the WordPress API.

Postman can only deliver email for other programs that hook into the WordPress API (wp_mail). May I ask where did you get your contact form? I can look into the source code to verify.

@webbistro, IMO this is dangerous. I’ve been asked by the core team not to discuss specifics on the forum. But if you can tell me what function you needed from pluggable.php, I’m sure I could help you figure out how to get access to it correctly.

@karelles, the only fix is for Nadia to update her plugin.

@ipstenu one more example.

The name Betty Boop was just an example

I realize.

I never see this “on behalf of” thing on any other reply emails I get when I submit forms myself in real life.

Well, it is new.

If I submit a form in real life, the reply email says it comes from whatever the company name is, and it shows my real name as the sender. That’s all I wanted. Replace Betty Boop with the name of the form submitter. I did not want us as the company to be Betty Boop!

So the From field in the emails I receive should be the name of the person who submitted it (in my test example it was Betty Boop – form submitter) – not from Improve21 to Improve 21.

There’s no misunderstanding. What you want to do is forge an email as Betty Boop. You might not mind this, but Betty Boop may.

Here’s a better example of why Email Services are cracking down on this.

Your website is in control of the recipient. Right now, that recipient is you, so no big deal. But what if the recipient was my mom. Or my boss. You want the ability to address an email from me to my boss and send whatever content you want. Would you agree that has a high potential for abuse?

That’s why your email says From Improve21 on behalf of Betty Boop. Because Betty Boop didn’t write the email. You did.

It was my hope that the “on behalf of” thing doesn’t appear, and I theorized that it may have been your program that added that extra wording. So you say that your program didn’t do it and that it is added on by my mail server?

That’s right. You can verify exactly what Postman sent by looking at a session transcript in the Email Log.

That’s interesting, because….

Like I said, it’s new, only certain Email Services do it (for example Gmail and Hotmail) and you’re going to see it more and more as the Internet gets tougher on Spammers and Phishers.

If you want to learn more search the web for SPF, DKIM and DMARC. One of the reasons Postman works so reliably compared to other WordPress plugins is because it understands these new Spam rules and makes sure to comply with them.

Cheers!
