Thank you so much. Our daughter was injured by electric shock and is in a coma. We have setup a website for updates on her condition and need to email folks with updates etc. I was running into a wall last night and 1/2 of today until I found your post. Thank you so much.
God Bless,

Hi,
Managed to send that test email through the SMTP plugin but it still gives me the dreaded failed to send error.
What am i doing wrong?

This is brilliant. I’m an epic lurker, rarely taking the time to comment on blogs, but I had to break my streak to say thanks.

This worked a treat. Thanks so much for putting this up here.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! You’ve truly saved me. I really hate Yahoo! Web Hosting, but I have no choice since my client insists on staying with them. Gah!

Mario muchas gracias, lo volvi a revisar y estaba poniendo el correo entre corchetes
[ nombre@dominio.com] y eso me originaba el error,
Para: [nombre@dominio.com]
De: [Name]
me lo acepto poniendo el mismo correo en ambos campos

para:nombre@dominio.com
de:nombre@dominio.com

Dan,

I describe the “Reply-To:” header issue in my follow-up article. The link is in the original article for Yahoo. Not sure if you missed the link.

Thanks, though.

One additional hint.

Since Yahoo! is forcing you to use the registered name as the “from” address, the contact form emails will arrive in your inbox addressed from yourself (obviously). If you want to be able to reply to the sender’s email directly, add the following to the “Additional headers:” field in the Mails section of the CF7 setup

Reply-To: [your-email]

This will insert the proper Reply-To header to the email message generated by the form.
