 * I need to know why emails are sent out to the WordPress admin email and not to
   the recipient email that I’m using on the contact form.
 * SMTP is working fine as all test emails are sent out with no problem.
 * No matter what recipient email I use in the contact form, emails are not sent
   out there but to the WordPress admin email.
 * Also – what other tags can be used apart from {{email}} ? These are not working
   in the email headers options at the moment.
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Femail-setup-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
