Hello Christopher.

I am using your basic contact form on a site for another one of my clients.  I have made all the tweaks that I learned from you in the past to get things working with the template I am using and others, but this time, I am running into an issue I have not ever had on the last four to five sites I have used the form on.

I am getting the error "Language string failed to load: invalid_address:".  ow, this only happens after I fill out the form completely and hit submit.  I get the emails from the form, but I see this on the page when the page reloads after submitting the form.

I assume it is coming from the field in the form set up of Joomla admin "Mail From Email"?  But I am not certain. 

On my personal site I do not list an email address here, nor do I on all the other sites I have used the form on.

Are you familiar with this error?  If you need to see the page I can send you a link via email as the clients site is not public right now.

Thank you sir.

Hello Mix.

Thank you for using Rapid Contact.

Yes, this error as you correctly understood is related to the Mail From Email fields in the Joomla Mail Settings and the Rapid Contact parameters.

You can start by checking what is there in the "Mail From Email" of Rapid Contact.

Joomla 1.7 included a new version of PHPMailer, which is the PHP extension used to send emails in Joomla. The new version checks for emails and prints the error mentioned when the "from email" is not a valid address.

Thanks again!

Great, thanks for the info.  I will play with things again and see what I can come up with.

Okay, I just made sure that I had a valid email address in the two following fields: Email Recipient & Mail From Email.  At this point in time, I am using the same email address in both fields.  I am still getting the following error: Language string failed to load: invalid_address

I am getting the email I submit via the form as well as the success message on the contact page.  I have also tested the email address I am using in the form and it is working correctly.

I did not know that there where any changes in J1.7, thanks for that info.   Is there something else I need to check or do?  If you need links, access etc, let me know and I can set that up.

Then it is probably in the Joomla Mail Settings. (Site->Global Configuration)

Check what your connection is made with and the Mail From Email.

Thanks again.
