Whenever a user sends email to me via my forum's contact form, his email address is never in the from field of the mail. The forum's webmaster address is used as the from field. So if I hit the reply button on the email receivied by my forum, it will mail back again to me.

The sender's email id is only in the Return To Path in original email.

How can I modify so that sender's email id is in the from field of the forum.

Using vb version 3.6.7 PL1.

The Email client you're using should use the Return-To address, because that's the purpose of it.

I use Gmail web interface and it doesn't use return-to address but instead use from field. I wanted if contact form sends from field as user's email id. That would be compatible with any email client!

Not necessarily, some web servers must verify the SPF record, if it doesn't verify, it's deleted.
