Title: Configuration Validator & Configuration Errors Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Configuration Validator & Configuration Errors * [Monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) * (@monique23) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/) * Hi Takayuki Miyoshi, * I have a question of interest. * I am using CF7 a lot. Since a short while we have this configuration validator and all of my forms are giving errors on the From Field. I have seen how to solve this (@ Why does the email address in the From field have to belong to the site domain? and forth). When I do this, the errors are being solved. No problem. * However, to me it doesn’t sound logic that you receive an e-mail with the ‘wrong’ e-mail address in the header. Suppose you have following situation: * you are Company A with e-mail address: [info@company-a.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/info@company-a.com?output_format=md)* client’s name is Client Z and has e-mail address: [info@client-z.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/info@client-z.com?output_format=md). * When Client Z fills in a form, the header in the mail that Company A receives is: Client Z . * That doesn’t look right to me. * I read all information about the reasons why this has to be done this way, but has nobody ever thought about this ‘problem’? * Just interested to know. * Thanks for your time & regards, Monique * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-7303966) * See [FAQ about Configuration Validator](http://contactform7.com/configuration-validator-faq/) * Thread Starter [Monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) * (@monique23) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-7303988) * Yes, I’ve read all that and I understand the reasons and implications. * Don’t you agree that it doesn’t look right? * [barnez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pidengmor/) * (@pidengmor) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-7304044) * [@monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) * > When Client Z fills in a form, the header in the mail that Company A receives > is: Client Z . * Why not create a `noreply@compant-a.com` address to use for this purpose? The** noreply** element is commonly seen in automated responses. * [Ardor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/straightshot/) * (@straightshot) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-8440147) * The problem with the noreply@ email is that’s all fine for the sender (Client Z in the example), but Client A in the example, the business being reached out to, is where the issue is in the contact forms. Why would Client A want their email to come with a from field displaying their own information? They want to see the email address of Client Z. One issue with this format being proposed is that Client A in my case, wants to be able to hit Reply in their email tool and get on with responding to that person. Having to copy and past the address and start a new thread, or piece together the initial webmail into an email response is not something that they wish to do. [@monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) is onto the same thing. Unless we’re missing something completely, but I’ve not come across a solution. * [Ardor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/straightshot/) * (@straightshot) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-8440157) * I should add that I have added in the Reply-To field, but had issues with it in my clients email tools. * Thread Starter [Monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) * (@monique23) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-8448255) * @barnez, * I would not use a [noreply@company-a.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/noreply@company-a.com?output_format=md) email address because personally I believe that even looks worse. Company A sees in the autoresponse mail (the 1st mail in CF7) the name of Client Z and behind this . It looks as if they cannot reply to the email to answer Client Z. * @Straighshot, * Using the “Reply-To: [email Client Z]” in additional headers at least gives Company A the possibility to reply to Client Z’s email. It just doesn’t feel right that Company A sees their own email address next to Client Z’s name… * I don’t know why you encounter problems using this. Maybe Takayuki can answer that. * What I regularly encounter though are emails being blocked by the servers of Company A because of the headers being in conflict with the servers of Client Z. In that case both emails are not being send 🙁 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Configuration Validator & Configuration Errors’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/contact-form-7/assets/icon.svg?rev=2339255) * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/reviews/) ## Tags * [configuration errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/configuration-errors/) * [configuration validator](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/configuration-validator/) * [from field](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/from-field/) * 6 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Monique23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monique23/) * Last activity: [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-validator-configuration-errors/#post-8448255) * Status: not resolved
