    On a site running MODx 2.5.0-pl, I have a couple of Formit forms. The forms utilized the following string of hooks:

    &hooks=`recaptchav2,spam,FormSave,email,redirect,FormItAutoResponder`


    It also used the following to add a reply email address to the form user:

    &fiarReplyTo=`[email protected]`


    Now, even though I've successfully used that format of coding to add a reply email address for many sites, on this particular site it resulted in the failed delivery of confirmation emails to the form user. The bounced email would contain the following error:

    "A message that you sent was rejected by the local scanning code that checks incoming messages on this system. The following error was given:

    This message was classified as SPAM and may not be delivered" (followed by header information and the body of the message.)

    After lengthy troubleshooting, I found that if I used this:

    &fiarFrom=`[email protected]`


    ...instead, it would work fine.

    So, what gives? Why does the original version work for many sites and on this one I need to use the other one? Was I using the wrong one all along?

    Thank you in advance.
