Form module email field
Reported by Imran | March 5th, 2012 @ 05:22 PM | in 2.0.6 (closed)
Create a form and add a text field with the identifier 'email'. Make the form's settings email the submission to a certain user. Try submitting the form, it will use the 'email' field as the from address to send the email and you'll get a whole bunch of errors if you enable the DEV and SMTP_DEV variables. Basically the form's $_POST['email'] variable overrides the SMTP_FROMADDRESS variable. I'm not sure why this would be but it could be potentially dangerous.

Actually this is a 'feature' which allows you to create a form which when the email is sent, sets up for a reply email to the sending address ('email' field) and sending name ('name' field) and also fills out the email header correctly. If you don't want to have it do this, set the field name to something like e-mail, etc...
I'll look into the warnings, but the migrated 'contact form' takes advantage of this feature.

I see, then note that if the field is optional and you leave it blank, said errors occur.

Ok, I'll change the code to not expect it to be filled, in which case, it'll default (eventually) to the SMTP_FROMADDRESS for users which aren't logged in (or if logged in use their profile address.
