5 years ago I'm having similar issues... most large e-mail providers have policies in place to reject e-mail with from addresses that appears to be spoofed. So, if you check "Send me a copy of the e-mail" on the contact form, it tries to send a copy of the e-mail with the same e-mail address in "from" and "to". Of course, the receiving server knows darn well that it didn't send the mail, and rejects it. In the following reject message, the actual e-mail address is replaced with "test@someserver.com":
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
test@someserver.com host smtp.mailchannels.net [52.10.208.11] SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 550 5.7.1 [BFD] Sender prohibited by SPF Reporting-MTA: dns; a2ss40.a2hosting.com

When sending the email From foobar@yahoo.com to barfoo@yahoo.com, Yahoo says "not compliant with our policy, bla bla bla" because Yahoo knows foobar@yahoo.com was not sent through a Yahoo SMTP.
Maybe if we could have From: and Reply-to: it would avoid problem with Yahoo (and others like orange.fr and laposte.net)
