    Hello

    I am wondering what i can set on a contact form on a server that has no emails setup and has only a contact form to send only, what i should set the from: to avoid spam?

    As setting it to the same as destination will give a warning at Google gmail...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    From email should always be the email @domain.com of the site you're sending from (visitor reading/browsing on). So form on this forum should be from @centminmod.com which has valid PTR, DKIM, SPF, DMARC as outlined at Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes

    Yep, it needs to be from the same domain.

    The contact form I use (WordPress plugin) inserts the actual user's email address in the "reply-to" field so you don't have do anything special to respond.

    I also have a Gmail filter set up to be sure that emails from my domain / contact form are never sent to spam. A bit of crap does come through, but some of the emails that arrive via my contact form are just too valuable and I can't afford to miss them.

    I'm also having problems with email. This is really tricky. I use host.domain.com to send email. It's for Nextcloud's password reset emails mostly. Every reset emails and test emails are in the gmail's spam folder. Sender is no-reply@host.domain.com. SPF, DKIM and DMARC are marked as pass. PTR is host.domain.com and it's ok. Mail-tester.com rates my emails 10/10. Mx records are set to improvmx and it's used to forward mails. There's catch all @host.domain.com and it forwards to my gmail. Same gmail I use to test this.

    Do you say that I should use @domain.com instead of @host.domain.com?

    I tested my IP and domain and they are not blacklisted. Any ideas what to try next?

    This line is from email headers. Is this wrong?

    as per Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes you need all SPF, DKIM and DMARC for both host.domain.com and domain.com done
