Change contact us FROM e-mail

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to change the way the contact us page sends e-mails. Currently, e-mails are received fine but the from address is the main e-mail address of the website and the reply-to address is the customer's e-mail address.

Is there any way to change it so that the only e-mail address that appears in the header as the sender is the customer's e-mail address (which they enter on the contact us page)?

The reason I ask is that my client's e-mail program indexes incoming e-mails by sender e-mail address, not the reply-to address. Therefore, every single person who sends an e-mail from the contact us page has the website's own e-mail address instead of their own and as such it gets identified as an internal e-mail.

Thanks very much,

Ryan

Re: Change contact us FROM e-mail

It's done that way so that the emails aren't treated as spam.
Since it's really your webserver/store that's sending the email, impersonating the customer will often treat the email as spam, which on most servers results in the message being dumped into a black hole and never even being attempted for delivery.
