client email "from" setup request

    One of my clients has requested that the person's email filling out the form be captured in the "from" portion of the email instead of the noreply@jotform address. The form is already capturing the sender's email, but he wants it in the "from" section as well.

    Is this a possibility and how can I enable this in the form builder?

    It isn't possible to have the sender email be the user filling out the form.  If would be a huge security risk if it was possible to show a different sender email than the one that actually sent the email. 

    You could set the email to send from a specific address:

    The sender name and reply-to email can also be changed:

    But it wouldn't be possible to have it show the sender email as anything other than the actual sender email.
