�Contact The Owner� form and Junk Mail

[SkGold]

When contacting the ad owner by using �Contact The Owner� form in almost every case email ends up in junk folder, especially for hotmail. I guess it happened because the form sending mail by using [email protected] but when email arriving to the ad owner in �From� filed it showing the address [email protected] that contactor putting when filling the form.

Is it possible to use [email protected] as a sender address all the time when somebody using �Contact The Owner� forms? And [email protected] email insert in mail body? If yes how can I do it?

I guess it will solve the problem of getting the �Contact The Owner� emails in junk folder.

Open contact.php

find:

PHP Code:

$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $name; 


edit as needed. Let me know if this isn't enough.

Hi John,
I will appreciate if you could tell me more.
What do I need to insert instead to make the form going from [email protected]?
Also how to get the contactor email address in mail body?

Open contact.php

find this:

PHP Code:

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $name; 


Replace with this:

PHP Code:

$htmlContent = str_replace("##email##", $from, $htmlContent);
$textContent = str_replace("##email##", $from, $textContent);

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $from; 


Then go into your admin panel and add this line to the contact owner email template where you need it:

##email##

Thanks a lot John. I probably didn�t explain it clear. But you point me in right direction and I made it work. I actually change:

$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $name;

To

$mail->From = ADMIN_EMAIL;
$mail->FromName = $title;

Same way as "Account Activation" or "New User Registration" emails work.

Now for people who interesting:
In my Welcome email I am asking new customers to add my Admin email [email protected] to their address book. And if they do so all contacts from my site will be delivered to customers Inbox and not to Junk folder.

Once again thanks a lot John.
