E-mail gets spam – killed

    Though I thank you for correcting the bugs repaired in latest update,
    I’ve noticed the last changelog does not mention the Sender issue…
    It was reported here by more users already, not-right solutions were suggested…

    E-mail headers play a GREAT role for most e-mail providers in analyzing whether or not is e-mail spam. One of the things that is often checked is if Sender&From mail domains match the initial sending server’s domain… so…

    Reply-to e-mail MUST NOT be used in From: header or for Sender: header.

    The headers From: and Sender: should both contain emails in this tructure:

    noreply_or_anything_else@SENDER_WEB_DOMAIN

    The bug was (before 2.9.2 update) in your plugin in the file handling emails on line 371:
    YOUR_WP_INSTALL/wp-content/plugins/visual-form-builder/includes/email.php

    Which is currently:

    $headers[] = "From: $reply_to";

    But should be:

    $headers[] = "From: \"$from_name\" <$from_email>";

    There is the same bug at (former?)line 396 …

    Thank you for repair in next(hopefuly-in-a-day) update!

    The reply-to feature should be there, but it should be strictly separated from Sender header …
    Otherwise many e-mail providers will KILL the e-mail on it’s way, that’s right, not just put it in spam folder, they will literally assasinate the e-mail before it arrives… ??

    That’s like saying you can not promise your plugin will actually work on healthy wordpress install ?? …so I DO hope that you will take this issue more seriously …

    Hello,

    Thank you again for the comment. We do appreciate your input on this matter. Please understand that while a change like this might help you, in many cases it could hurt other users, as such we have to consider the implementation of this change from all angles, before making it live. Perhaps we could include it as an optional setting… We will of course look at this.

    Thanks again,
