MachForm 4.1 Released
MachForm version 4.1 is now available for downloads on Members Area.
This is a maintenance release to address Yahoo/AOL DMARC issue that might affect your form’s email deliveries. It contain bugfixes and several minor improvements.
What’s DMARC?
About three weeks ago, Yahoo began imposing a stricter email validation policy (DMARC) that unfortunately breaks lot of things in the internet.
Last week, AOL started to implement the same policy and the issue become more widespread.
These are major changes that affect lots people and most likely other email providers such as Gmail or Hotmail will do the same policy, sooner or later.
How is MachForm affected?
If your forms are configured to use the “From Email Address” using the email address entered by people who filled the form, then you are affected by this issue. Notification emails won’t be sent if people are using Yahoo or AOL address.
If your forms are using the email from your own domain for the “From Email Address”, then you are not affected. Notification emails should work properly and it’s not necessarily needed to update (it’s better to update to 4.1 though).
How MachForm address this issue?
As of MachForm 4.1, we added new option to let you define “Reply-To Email” address for your forms. This new functionality lets your form to work properly as usual and avoid the DMARC issue. This is also the recommended method suggested by Yahoo/AOL.
