TYPO3 Core

if your Form-konfiguration contains e.g.

label 1 | name=input
label 2 | email=input

then the send email ist sent by name <email>. Works as expected.

If The content type (CType) is "mailform".

Settings in localconf:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['MAIL'] defaults are set, and eg the form is the Following:

label 1 | name=input
label 2 | Email=input

Then the send mail ist sent by name <default email address>, the parts are mixed up, depending what is given, missing.

This may be a bug, depends on your point of view. For me ist a bug.

The defautl from-address is only used as a last resort. The mailform tries to use either the field 'from_email' or 'email' as the email address of the sender.
With the new Swift Mailer library it's vital to have a proper sender address, otherwise the mail will simply not be sent.

We found it important to make the utmost effort to send the email, so without a valid sender address we will use the default from-address set in the Install Tool options.

As sender name either the field 'from_name' or 'name' will be used. As you have seen, without a sender name the mail will still be received.

Can you explain the added value of showing the defaultMailFromName instead of no name when no usable name could be found in the form?

Its clear why a fallback is defined. but it should not be mixed up:

the EMail could be sent by "name of formfiller <email of form reciever>" (and vice versa). Which is a valid Email, but wrong: cause Formfiller is NOT member of the recivers Company. So this is a Bug.

I don't know the mail-RFC's, but I think to send a valid E-mail its enoug to have a E-Mail address. The name is optional?

if so: mailer should use complete sets:
a) Form values given: either (name AND Email) or (only Email) of FormFiller
b) Form values NOT given: either (name AND Email) or (only Email) of default values
if only e-mail is known, the this should be enough.

Can you explain the added value of showing the defaultMailFromName instead of no name
when no usable name could be found in the form?

What do you mean. Sorry I dont unserstand the question - really, my bad english.... :-(

Hope this helps.

I now see two changes:

- if no valid email address of form filler is found, use default from name and address
- if no from name is found, only use email address (instead of empty name)

I will make a patch for this.

Nice to her this. But please dont forgett the first part of my question:

From: "" <defaultMailFromAddress@*****.*****.**>

Even if default names are given, this name is dropen somewhere an actualy NO name is set al all.
