'From' on email action in forms

Support
#1

Does this need to be an email address? We had names (either typed or dynamic) and it was working but now there are errors in the email smtp plugin (postmark) saying the ‘from’ isn’t valid - presumably as it has to be an email address?
Odd as we tested this before go live and it worked fine but maybe that should have a warning/validator?

If submissions aren’t enabled - I guess any submitted data won’t be anywhere?

Hello @RubberDuckers,

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes — for SMTP, the From value typically needs to be a valid email address, not a name. Postmark and similar mail services usually require the sender to be an actual email like [email protected]. Please have a look at this documentation to learn more about email settings in terms of valid email addresses and form email validation.

Hope it helps
Thanks
