    Some months ago, it worked, mmm could you give me the code or function? my domain is @afsdp.org.pe , I’m only using the “+xxxx” because your plugin requires it.

    The plugin does not require it. It just requires a unique email address assigned to each option. You can use email addresses without the “+xxxx”. I just give the “+xxxx” as a convenient example for those with email servers that support those kinds of addresses.

    As I said in my previous post, you might be able to create new email addresses and forward them all to a single email address and avoid using “+xxxx”.

    If it worked before, and does not now, then that is an issue with the mail server where your receive email (not send).

    but if I do that, in the CFDB view, the admin users will see only one mail and this mail won’t be any of their mails. So you are saying that CFDB in not total compatible with CF7? because with CF7 I can repeat the mails without problems and without the “+xxxx”

    It works like this:

    Imaging you have selections:
    A|[email protected]
    B|[email protected]
    C|[email protected]

    Let’s say someone select’s C.

    CF7 tells CFDB that the choice is “[email protected]”. But it doesn’t tell CFDB that the selection was C.

    So I coded CFDB to look at the form definition to see what is before the “|”. But in this case, [email protected] appears 3 times. So there is no way to know if A, B, or C was selected. CF7 doesn’t tell us.

    So the only option is to make each email different, like this:

    A|[email protected]
    B|[email protected]
    C|[email protected]

    so that when CF7 says that [email protected] was selected, CFDB can look at the form definition and see that it could only have come from choice C.

    But that is inconvenient if you want it to go to the same email always. The “+xxx” trick can be used to make the emails look different, when in fact, they are not. But not all email servers support this feature.

    So the only other option is to have 3 different email addresses.

    So, If I want that the “+xxx” trick works, what can I ask to my hosting service? It is a php module? or an extension? because, some months ago it worked but now after upgrading the plugins it doesn’t; but if you say that you can’t do anymore , how can I resolve this problem with my hosting? I’d appreciate your help.
