Email does not comply with addr-spec of RFC 2822

[petrus9]

When adding the following Name Lastname [email protected] to the default "to" or "from" I get the following error.

Symfony \ Component \ Mime \ Exception \ RfcComplianceException
Email "Name lastname <[email protected]>" does not comply with addr-spec of RFC 2822. But as far as I am concerned it does comply.

Here is my markdown for the contact form
contact.md

This is how it actually shows up in the error screen:

If this provided contact.md is using the same configuration file from you other issue, there was no value for {{ config.plugins.email.from }} nor {{ config.plugins.email.to }}. These were both empty. These need to be provided i a valid email format: https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-email?tab=readme-ov-file#specifying-email-addresses

You said you use "Name lastname <[email protected])>" so I tested with:

process:
    email:
        subject: "[Site Contact Form] {{ form.value.name|e }}"
        from: "Name lastname <[email protected]>"
        to: "Name lastname <[email protected]>"
...

And it worked totally 100% fine. Even without the quotes its fine:

process:
    email:
        subject: "[Site Contact Form] {{ form.value.name|e }}"
        from: Name lastname <[email protected]>
        to: Name lastname <[email protected]>

FYI, you should always include a reply_to: so when you receive an email from the contact form, you can click 'reply' and it will go to the user who entered the form data on your site. Something like:

reply_to: {mail:"{{ form.value.email }}", name:"{{ form.value.name|e }}"}

is the best solution assuming your form has a field for email and for name.

Thanks for the reply_to tip. I implemented it and it works!

Here is my new email.yaml

enabled: true
from: 'John Doe <[email protected]>'
to: 'Jane Doe <[email protected]>'
mailer:
  engine: sendgrid
  smtp:
    server: localhost
    port: 25
    encryption: none
    user: null
    password: null
  sendmail:
    bin: '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs'
content_type: text/html
debug: false
cc: null
bcc: null
reply_to: null
body: null

Which throws the RFC error

Here is my contact.md which I know does not have any lines for "name:" not sure what I need to fix here so that emails are sent to 'Jane Doe [email protected]' and come from 'John Doe [email protected]'

OH, change your email process: email: section to:

-
            email:
                from: '{{ config.plugins.email.from }}'
                to: '{{ config.plugins.email.to }}'
                reply_to:
                    mail: '{{ form.value.email }}'
                    name: '{{ form.value.name|e }}'
                subject: '[Contact] Message from {{ form.value.name|e }}'
                body: '{% include ''forms/data.html.twig'' %}'

You were setting the 'email' only part (mail:) with the combined email + name. Just set to: and from: and you should be fine.

[petrus9]

when I change the process: email: section to your recommendation. I get:

Symfony\Component\Mime\Exception\RfcComplianceException thrown with message "Email "Jane Doe <[email protected]>" does not comply with addr-spec of RFC 2822."

I am assuming I have to add some kind of name field, right?

I am following the the formating given in the email plugin interface:

[rhukster]

So you have quotes around it? Try removing. Maybe they are not regular quotes.

No quotes

[rhukster]

I’m at a loss 🤷‍♂️

works for me when I try.

[petrus9]

The way it shows up on my screen is like this:

[rhukster]

Ya that’s weird. The escaping isn’t right. But I don’t even know how you could do that from a yaml configuration.

[petrus9]

The only way I get it to work is if my email.yaml looks like this:

enabled: true
from: '[email protected]'
to: '[email protected]'
mailer:
  engine: sendgrid
  smtp:
    server: localhost
    port: 25
    encryption: none
    user: null
    password: null
  sendmail:
    bin: '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs'
content_type: text/html
debug: false
cc: null
bcc: null
reply_to: null
body: null

[petrus9]

@rhukster so from what you wrote above, it sounds like when you add name and email address to the Email plugin fields like so:

Using:

email:
                from: '{{ config.plugins.email.from }}'
                to: '{{ config.plugins.email.to }}'
                reply_to:
                    mail: '{{ form.value.email }}'
                    name: '{{ form.value.name|e }}'
                subject: '[Contact] Message from {{ form.value.name|e }}'
                body: '{% include ''forms/data.html.twig'' %}'        

Your email is delivered coming from John Doe <[email protected]> and is sent to Jane Doe ,<[email protected]> in full

in full name-addr format? is that what you mean by that you can't replicate this?
