Select Recipient – Mail Tag Syntax Error

I am also having this issue — slight variation but same error message

I have been using the form for a very long time with no issues until now; everything is updated; however, I get this error when trying to fill out the form:

Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

and when I go into the form under additional headers, where I have:
Reply-To:[your-email] (I have had this since the beginning)
it now says:

this field has syntax error.

I have this form embedded in every page of my site; and now none of them work; please please let me know what can be done!
Thanks so much!

And my axe…

er. Wait. I’m also looking for this exact same question. Using the same syntax from the KB as ImagePros. It all works, and has worked, but I haven’t figured out a way to make the syntax error to go away.

(Actually, I’m getting a syntax error in the additional header Reply-To: on one of my forms like purtywun1 as well. Just one. Others written exactly the same aren’t reporting an error. Just one.)

It bothers me. If there is a way to “properly” create these lists of recipients that works with the upgraded forms I’d rather do that then go in and disable the error checking entirely.

I am not sure that the syntax error message is in error.

This same form (shown at beginning of thread) does not deliver emails to the recipients in the array. I get them, but the client does not. They use a corporate gmail plan. It is possible the Google smtp server is not liking the sender (the wordpress site).

Standard php mail apps work — they receive those via gmail. But they don’t receive email from wordpress CF7.

@ImagePros
Have your tried making the your-recipient field required (*) in the FORM, so there will always be a recipient selected and the form cannot fail due to this being empty:

<p>Send Email To:<br />
[select* your-recipient "Sales|[email protected]"
                    "Service & Support|[email protected]"
                    "Corporate Offices|[email protected]"
                    "Webmaster|[email protected]"]</p>

Similar advice. Try making email a required field in the FORM:

[email* your-email]

Thank you barnez, your solution made the syntax error vanish. Still waiting to see if the client gets the email…I will report back if they did.

Yep. That asterix took care of it. Got the errors cleaned up in all of my forms. Thanks barnez!
