WordPress Contact Form 7 Plugin Problem

[jerome1g]

I am using Contact Form 7 version (4.7) in Wordpress
Email works, I get all the information.
The problem is the "from line" in the email says
From "WordPress" and when I open the email and expand on the from in the email the whole line reads:
WordPress <x10host@jeromegreene55.byethost14.com>

In the settings under the mail tab in the plugin the from definition looks like this:
FROM <x10host@jeromegreene55.byethost14.com>

My email account under my cPanel has the following:
x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com

In the cPanel when I try to define and email account that definition looks like this:
Email _____________ @ jerome1greene.x10host.com

Question how to I fix the from subject so it read x10host and not WordPress?

Thank You

From line in the Contact Form plugin looks like this now:
FROM byethost14 <x10host@jeromegreene55.byethost14.com>

 

[jerome1g]

Now I get no email at all
Remember my email account under my cPanel has the following:
x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com

The from address needs to be an address on your account so if x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com is the only email address on your account, you need to use that.

 

[jerome1g]

From line in the Contact Form plugin looks like this now:
FROM x10host <x10host@jeromegreene55.byethost14.com>

I receive no email
Is this the right format you want me to use?

 

[lylex10h]

Try:
FROM x10host <x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com>

 

[jerome1g]

From line in the Contact Form plugin looks like this now:
FROM x10host <x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com>

When I try to save it I get the following error message:
Sender email address does not belong to the site domain.

This type of error is seen in the From field within the Mail tab when the field value is a valid mailbox, but the email address doesn’t belong to the same domain as the web site.

The reason why this is a problem is explained in the FAQ.

The explanation is not clear to me

I only have two email address

My Domain:
jerome1greene.x10host.com
Account @ Domain:
x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com <---- created this under cPannel email account. Is this a email account?(1)
The only other email is the one I sign in with (2)
Do I use my sign in email address in the contact form?

 

[lylex10h]

When you go to the Email Accounts section of cPanel, does it show actually show "x10host@jerome1greene.x10host.com"?

Here is a copy of my cPanel

Without access to your WP I'm out of ideas. I would recommend trying the Contact Form that comes with Jetpack or checking support forms at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7

Can you send mail directly from that account? I'm wondering if they filter outgoing mail that looks like it might be from the hosting company rather than a client account.

In your Wordpress general setting, what is the email address used? I believe contact form 7 is using that address which differs from ur cpanel email

 

[jerome1g]

essellar I was able to send email from my X10hosting to my home account.
The from line read "from:jerome1g@xo3.x10hosting.com"
User Name jerome1g Server Name xo3.x10hosting.com <----- name of my inbox

chatgox In the Wordpress general setting the email address is my personnel email address.
Just tried it in the contact form and got an error:
Sender email address does not belong to the site domain

Well I don't know how many people are following this thread, but I just came across a new piece of my puzzle.
I was able to send email from my X10hosting to my home account and received it. Then just for kicks I did a reply to it to see if that would work. And this is what the email message I received from my personnel email account:

Message not delivered
There was a problem delivering your message to jerome1g@xo3.x10hosting.com. See the technical details below, or try resending in a few minutes.

The response from the remote server was:

550 You do not have sufficient privileges to send mail to this address. Please authenticate and try again.

Final-Recipient: rfc822; jerome1g@xo3.x10hosting.com

Remote-MTA: dns; xo3.x10hosting.com (198.91.81.3, the server for the domain.)
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550-You do not have sufficient privileges to send mail to this address. Please
550 authenticate and try again.
Last-Attempt-Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:04:48 -0700 (PDT)

When I googled the error number & the message the results said:
Something might be wrong / not configured right with the email server

I will open this one up in a new thread and see what I get

Thanks all

What I meant was that having "x10host" as the name part of your sending address might be a problem. And yes, your username on the server has a default email address associated with the Linux user; that doesn't mean it's authorized to receive mail from outside senders, or that you have access to any mail the account may receive as that user.
