Sending Email From Web Server
Hi,
I have a contact form on my Wordpress site.
When a user submits the form, and automatic confirmation email is sent to the user.
The confirmation email often ends up in the user's spam folder.
01 - is it possible to change the email address that the confirmation email is sent from... i'd actually like to have it sent from an email address on another domain
02 - can you suggest any ways to help improve the sending of the email so that it doesn't end up in the spam folder.

I'm guessing you can use SendGrid for something like this, but you would have to talk with them about the specifics. There are laws about impersonating a different domain, and the penalties can be quite severe (handcuffs and jail time) so the professional email services are naturally quite careful to help you stay on the good side of the law!

Ok, but surely it would be ok, if you verified your domain with the 3rd party

Thanks guys, i'll check each of them out now.
So would it best to use, or is it possible to use SendGrid or something similar so that I can send it from a different email domain?
Do third party email systems allow you to do that?
