After running a promotion recently I got a load of emails via the "contact us" form on my website. I just started replying to them all today + I sent a bunch and went to get a coffee.

When I came back they were all in my inbox !!!

For some reason the contact us form is sending emails as coming from my own address so I don't have the contacting persons email address at all! Has any1 else had this problem?

I almost spat my coffee all over the place!

Extra info: I've set up vbulletin to work via smtp + I recently set up this spf info:

sitename.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ~all"

Although it seems the problem has been happening since before I did that :S

Is the contact us email configured right?

Admin CP - Vbulletin Options - Site name/Url etc... - Are those settings all correct?

Yeah I think they are. I'm using gmail so I've just copied my smtp data from their website + have entered the other info (email address site name etc). The emails are being sent ok, I can't even think what setting could be wrong to cause this :s Any ideas?

I moved server a couple of weeks ago + from what I can gather it's been happening since then. :(

Does anyone know if I can change the format of the emails this form sends and try and put the senders address at the bottom underneath the ip? Atleast then I'll have it.
