Confusion around new configuration error message

This link works too for addressing configuration errors.

https://contactform7.com/configuration-errors/

Please refer to that one going forward.

Sorry but I’m terribly confused.
I receive errors only in mail section and not in the form so what have I to modify? From the above examples it seems that changes have to be applyed in both the form and the mail.
The errors in the mail section are :
== Mail ==
1) From : [your-email] ==> This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.
2) Object : [your-subject] ==> This field can be empty depending on user input.

== Mail 2 ==
3) From : [email protected] ==> This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.
4) Object : [your-subject] ==> This field can be empty depending on user input.

point 1) I think that is impossible/could be that a customer has the same site domain
points 2-4) OK this field can be empty but why is an error?
point 3) I think that I need to receive/send mails from a different domain
however, no matter what, it’s impossible to understand where, what and how to fix the problem, can you help me?
Thank you

@buzztone: i made the changes (mostly) as you described and the red error messages are gone but I’m not receiving any test messages from the contact form. One difference: when I put [your email] in the to field as you described, I got a syntax error. When I changed it to [your-email], the error went away. Still, the form is not working.

@mrzpro

Try this:

== MAIL ==
From: [your-name] <[email protected]>
Subject: [your-subject]
Additional Headers: Reply-To: [your-email]

== MAIL 2 ==
From: <[email protected]>
Subject: [your-subject]

Then, in your FORM tab place an asterisk (*) in the subject shortcode so the user has to include a subject:

[text* your-subject]

Thanks Barnez!

Your welcome ??

@lanny Kaufer – Sorry – I won’t be able to assist you further. I have decided to stop offering further support in this forum.

That error message is very annoying because, in my case, everything works fine although I have [your-name] <[your-email]> in the From field.
If I put [your-name] <[email protected]>, when I receive an email it seems that it is from [email protected], and this is annoying too because when I reply, the To field in my email client is filled correctly (as I also use the Reply-To header), but in the email text where the original email is reported, it is written:
From: Visitor Name <[email protected]>
instead of
From: Visitor Name <[email protected]>

So, if I have to make the changes so that I have to put [your-name] <[email protected]> in the From field, do something to let the Reply-To address appear in the “To” part of the email text when I reply.
I hope it is clear what I mean.

@mavenickster

but in the email text where the original email is reported, it is written:
From: Visitor Name <[email protected]>

As far as I can see there is no way around this. So, although previously the FROM field in your email client would show the visitor’s email address, now it will show your [email protected] address.

One thing you can do is to use [email protected] to avoid any confusion.

@barnez Maybe you’re right… I’ll do this way… although I don’t like it at all… Thank you!

Hm, sorry if I didn’t get it right, I’m pretty unsure about it – so, when I got a form like this:

<p>Your Name<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>

etc. blah blah more fields blah blah

Now I created a (forwarding) email address: [email protected]

Using this:

To: [your name] <[your email]>
From: [your name] <[email protected]>

and putting this into the additional header section:

Reply-to: [your name] <[your email]>

would mean the following?

1. The visitor fills the form with his Name (John Doe) and email address ([email protected])?
2. The form uses the address [email protected] so it won’t be treated as spam?
3. The email I get will show “John Doe” as sender’s name but uses “[email protected]” as sender’s email?
4. When I reply to him, it shows me the Sender’s name in my To-field in my email client with using his email address?
