E-mails are not sent

    Hello,

    we have recently had the problem that applicants’ emails are no longer being sent. The message appears: “Error sending notification message, but don’t worry, We saved Your data securely. Thank you.”

    Switching to the internal SMTP server didn’t help.
    This blocks the shipment because the “sender email” does not match the one with which the SMTP registration took place (the applicant’s email is entered as the sender).

    Does anyone know the problem or does anyone have any ideas about it?

    Thanks & best regards
    Salli

  • Hello,

    we have the same issue. Our Spam Filter detects the email as sent from a spoofed sender, since it sets the header to the applicants email, but uses the admin email configured in WordPress to send.

    From looking at the source code, this is hardcoded — specifically, line 178 in class-job-notifications.php:

    $from_email = apply_filters(‘job-postings/from_email’, $contact_email, $job_id);

    I have not found an option to change / disable this. Is it possible to create feature requests for WordPress plugins?

    Hi there,
    i am having the same problem. it would be great if the mail sender could be set through the settings.

    I have the same problem here.

    We have the same problem. Anyone got the issue solved?

    We have the same issue. I noticed during testing that if I used my admin Email address to fill a form and submit, it was sent fine. Using any other email address resulted in the error as salli1 posted. Leaving the Email Address field empty, allowed the form to be submitted with no error, and I received the email notification about the form submission. In this case, the notification email comes from my admin email address.

    What i have done as a workaround, is set the input field for the users email adress to a “TEXT” field type, instead of an “EMAIL” field type. This results in the following:

    Form is submitted without error
    Email notification is sent to me, with my admin email address as the sender
    The users email address is shown in form submission as a normal text field

    This is a workaround and at least solves the problem for now. Unfortunately it does not seem that the developers are still supporting this plug in, as there have been no updates.

    Thank you for the workaround, vossautomaten.
    Unfortunately it doesn’t work for us. I changed the email address field to text but the error message remains and the email is not sent. The email address is now only displayed to me in the backend when I apply. Have I perhaps forgotten something?

    4 month ago I had the same problem with the version 2.7.7 of Jobs for Wordpress.
    In the meantime it’s version 2.7.11 and I am not sure if the updates solved the problem in my case but anyway, I also installed the free plugin version of Post SMTP to send all emails in WordPress generally by this plugin: https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/post-smtp/
    Post SMTP Email Logs reports that there are mails sent by using forms in Jobs for WordPress. Maybe you could try that?
