Weird contact form behavior

Please take a look at your event's documentation in the Symphony backend. When you have added the Send Email Notification
filter, you will also find a documentation for this filter. You will find instructions how to set certain fields dynamically, e.g.:
<input name="send-email[sender-email]" value="fields[email]" type="hidden" />
I guess this is what you need.
thanks michael. That did the trick in removing the error from returning. however, it's not actually sending the email notification saying someone has used the form. would this be a server config issue or a symphony issue then? I'm on dreamhost for and have not run into this problem before there.
Anything in Symphony's log?
You might run into problems with the sender email being dynamic. Try to send from a "native" address (which belongs to the SMTP account resp. the server/webspace) and just set send-email[reply-to-email]
dynamically.
Check that the from name and from email address in preferences section are filled in. That caught me out the other day because I had assumed I had filled them in but hadn't.
dave, i saw that those fields were empty in the preferences, filled them in but it still does not seem
to send. I think it actually had to go back to michael's comment about the address having to belong to the server mail account (actually using sendmail, not SMTP). The recipient
is my personal email address that is just a gmail address. But when I switched the user to use a valid email address (though using gmail-hosted email) from under my client's domain, the email sent.
thanks for the help!

I'm trying to get this form flow to work properly but I'm running into a weird issue where the submission works, but the default "Save Message" event returns an error.
Here is the markup I'm using:
and here is the event being returned:
What I don't get is why I am getting the
filter
error back but when I go to the admin, under the Messages, this message is saved, but I never receive a notice about a message coming through. Also, since this "error" occurs, the frontend then throws this error out there:But as you can see from the event output the
email
was filled out and passed along properly to the event.has anyone experienced this before or know what may be going?
thanks
