 * Hi [@capuderg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/),
 * I feel its best to summarize the problem again:
 * I can send emails just fine with WP Mail SMTP + Mailgun and every plugin that
   I’m using. I also get “Lost your password?” emails just fine, and that’s a WordPress
   functionality (I just checked it and I got the “set new password” email).
 * The only email that I’m not getting is when WordPress automatically updates itself
   to the next minor version. And–as you know–we only get those emails a few times
   per year, that’s why it’s harder to debug. 😀
 * The “Administration Email Address” in Settings -> General is set to an address
   from my domain, [accounts@mydomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubinstein/replies/accounts@mydomain.com?output_format=md)
 * I have yet another WordPress install where I don’t use WP Mail SMTP, and there
   I got the WP core update email from [wordpress@myotherdomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubinstein/replies/wordpress@myotherdomain.com?output_format=md)–
   so these core update emails should come from [wordpress@mydomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubinstein/replies/wordpress@mydomain.com?output_format=md)
   in the installation that’s affected.
 * I don’t think I have other plugins that use the WP filter auto_core_update_email.
   I searched my MySQL database for this string, but I couldn’t find anything. I
   also copied the WP plugins folder to my desktop and searched for this string (
   with Notepad++), but I also couldn’t find it.
 * I’m not exactly sure, but maybe this thread could help you guys (there are code
   snippets in it): [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-address-setfrom/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-address-setfrom/)

 * Hi [@capuderg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/),
 * Maybe I’m mistaken, but I think what you’re describing is not true, Mailgun didn’t
   even receive the email when WordPress Core got updated automatically.
 * Mailgun works fine with test emails (Check Email plugin) and with contact form
   emails (Formidable Pro).
 * I can’t set “Force from Email” to enabled because I need to have a different 
   email address for my contact form. The address for that is [contact-form@my-domain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rubinstein/replies/contact-form@my-domain.com?output_format=md).
 * I only use email addresses that are from my domain, I don’t use Gmail addresses
   etc. – so things should work.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@sanzeeb3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanzeeb3/),
 * Can you please give me a list of server variables to test on the server I’m on?
 * Accessing this script in a info.php file in the browser via [https://www.example.com/info.php](https://www.example.com/info.php)
 * <?php
    echo $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’]; ?>
 * gives the correct server name:
 * [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) (changed to hide my identity,
   but it’s the correct one). Edit: Apparently this forum adds http:// to all URLs.
   I got the result without it.
 * Thanks!

 * Yes, that’s the plan if I can isolate it’s their plugin.

 * Hi [@njones35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/njones35/),
 * I meant to say that CleanTalk integrates with Formidable, so it’s their code.
   They have a special compatibility code AFAIK.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@njones35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/njones35/),
 * Thanks for replying.
 * After reading your reply I have the hunch that it could be the CleanTalk plugin
   that’s causing this behavior. I don’t get any spam because of this plugin, but
   it might be bypassing the ReCAPTCHA in some cases – leading to an entry in their
   database that I still have to check from time to time, so it would be nice to
   limit that with a working ReCAPTCHA. So maybe CleanTalk’s integration with Formidable
   is a bit buggy.
 * I will do some tests and will follow up with you.

 * Today two of my WordPress installations upgraded automatically to the newest 
   WordPress core version.
 * The installation where I checked “Force from Email” in WP Mail SMTP did send 
   a success email.
 * The other installation where I didn’t check this setting didn’t send the success
   email, I got the familiar error (via WP Mail Log):
    Invalid address: (setFrom)
   wordpress@
 * Is there anything I can do to help debug this?
 * Thanks

 * That means that a part of Sendgrid’s network is on the block list of Outlook/

 * Hi,
 * It seems that the fix doesn’t work anymore.
 * Today WordPress was automatically updated to version 5.2.5 (2 installations).
   But I didn’t get emails.
 * I get this error again (from WP Mail Log): Error: Invalid address: (setFrom) 
   wordpress@
 * I’ve updated to WP Mail SMTP version 1.7.1. Did you include the fix in one of
   these versions? The patched version from a link from this thread did work.
 * Thank you.
