    not sure if this is any use but i just configured mine by putting various hidden fields in my form as follows:

    <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="email address to send form comments to">
    <input type="hidden" name="required" value="compulsory fields separated by commas">
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="subject of email">
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="page to redirect to on submission">

    there might be one of them for the from address too?
    but from what I remember if you call your e-mail field email and your name field realname, it should automatically show up in the e-mail that it came from whatever address and it will even display the name instead of just the e-mail address i.e. the from field in your inbox will show Joe Bloggs instead of joe@bloggs.com ....
