 * The latest version of Contact Form 7 says I have 2 configuration errors. Can 
   anyone review the code in my form & tell me where the errors are & how to correct
   them?
 *     ```
       <p>Your Name (required)<br />
          [text* your-name akismet:author] </p>
   
       <p>Your Email (required)<br />
           [email* your-email akismet:author_email] </p>
   
       <p>Subject<br />
           [text your-subject] </p>
   
       <p>Your Message<br />
           [textarea your-message] </p>
   
       <p>[submit "Send"]</p>
       ```

 * same problem. In the Mail section it says:
    rom This email address does not belong
   to the same domain as the site. Subject This field can be empty depending on 
   user input.
 * What do I do with that information? How do I fix whatever that means?

 * @randymartinameritech.net – As per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post),
   please [post your own topic](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7#postform).
 * Posting in an existing topic and taking over the original posters question is
   generally considered inappropriate. Added to which, your problem – despite any
   similarity in symptoms – is likely to be different.

 * @buzzyone: Randy actually has the same problem as I do. I have the same errors
   displaying & have no idea how to fix them.

 * [@richards1052](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richards1052/) – if you can
   add here what you are using in the Mail section of the CF7 interface, I will 
   be able to assist you with your particular problem.

 * [@buzztone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buzztone/) – I had no intention
   of being RUDE or INAPPROPRIATE. It has been my experience in other forums to 
   NOT duplicate a question if it has already been asked.
 * @ Richards1052 – Thank you for sticking up for me.

 * @randymartinameritech.net – I understand your good intentions and appreciate 
   your kind consideration.
 * If you take a look at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-error-message)
   you will see that the Forum Moderators definitely want you and other users to
   add your question in a separate post.

 * [@buzztone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buzztone/): I don’t believe you’ve
   been deputized to police the forums. Especially since Randy & I have precisely
   the same problem occurring in precisely the same portion of the plugin. Why should
   we duplicate when we each face precisely the same problem. And why should we 
   need to have this debate at all?
 * One error was that it said I wasn’t using an e mail address that matched my domain.
   Since my personal e mail address which I was using is gmail, I’m not sure why
   Contact 7 won’t permit me to use a gmail domain.
 * If I might suggest to Randy if he uses Jetpack he can switch to the Comment form
   featured by Jetpack. It’s quite simple to replace the code in the Contact 7 contact
   form with the code for the Jetpack Contact form. If you have a page dedicated
   to your Contact form, that’s where you’d change it.
 * I did so & had no problems.

 * [@richards1052](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richards1052/), If you look
   at it from the volunteer’s perspective, the problem they are trying to resolve
   becomes harder when more variables are introduced. It’s great to hear validation
   that people are having the same issue, but ‘me too’ posts unfortunately cloud
   the thread. It’s not such an issue at the moment, but threads in this plugin 
   have been known to be flooded with these types of posts. It’s cool if you want
   to create a thread with the purpose of knowing “who else has this problem”, but
   not so cool when you’re asking for support.
 * [@buzztone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buzztone/) is an active volunteer
   of this forum and is only trying to help this thread stay on track, rather than
   just police it.
 * I am however just policing the forum so you should take that frustration on me.
 * For everyone _who wants to discuss their issue_, please open a new thread. It’s
   really not a big deal.

 * @ Andrew: The thread doesn’t need “policing” from you or Buzztone. Each of us
   who had the same exact problem were sharing how to fix it together. To me, that
   is forums when they work best.
 * I’m sorry that Buzztone had to recruit you to come police a thread that doesn’t
   need it.
 * All this makes me happy to have gotten rid of Contact 7 & found a plugin that
   actually works without the added unnecessary aggravation you’ve both introduced.

   I’m not trying to wind you up, I’m not trying to argue with you. I just want 
   to ask you to take a moment and read the forum welcome about where to post.

 * I don’t and I am not making hay about this. It’s your topic but I’m replying 
   to this because this is where passerby’s make a common mistake.
 * > Each of us who had the same exact problem were sharing how to fix it together.
   > To me, that is forums when they work best.
 * That may be the case in your thread here but 99.44% of the time _that is completely
   untrue and is not true._ The moderators try to prevent pile on topics that obscure
   the problem that people who are jumping in miss.
 * The best way for users to get their problem addressed and the attention they 
   deserve is to post their own topic. That _is_ how these forums work. It’s not
   perfect (and neither are we) but it works.
 * Please do not take issue with moderators fulfilling their responsibility. You
   may not agree with what they do but they do keep things running smoothly here.
