Change from email address in contact form

[chrisfornos]

Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone know how to change the "from" email address in the default theme?

 

The problem is that a user needs to enter his email address and then the email is actually sent to me using his email address in the form. This causes emails to go to spam and for some cases, like yahoo addresses, to fail completely.

 

So I want to keep the "reply-to" as their entered email address but i want the actual email from the contact form to be sent by one of my own store email addresses. 

 

Any ideas?

you can override the Mail class Send function, so that all mail is sent from your shop's configured email address. 

 

To include a reply-to would be more involved coding

Thanks for replying.

 

Is there no easier way to do this? I dont want to break any functionality because currently for example, when an email comes in, I can reply to the customer's email address (so it uses the "reply-to" and not the "from").

 

I thought maybe there would be a way to set this in the backoffice interface by going to "customers -> Customer Services" and editing the "IMAP" section. Do you know what that section is for? Or is it something totally unrelated ...

The IMAP section allows you to use an email account to send/receive customer service emails, as opposed to having all of the customer threads only managed in the database.

 

The only way to force the FROM is as I have described.
