Dynamic To email requires static. Bug? Regression? Just daft?

MarkRS 09 May, 2016
It seems that currently (Chrono 5.0.11, Joomla 3.5.1), supplying "dynamic to" addresses simply doesn't work unless there's a "static" "to" address in place.

Was it ever thus? It seems counter-intuitive at best, I've just wasted about 6 hours discovering this (I couldn't see a reference to it anywhere online), since the "static" address is simply thrown away.

Could it at least get documented (perhaps showing it as "required"?), if not corrected (in my eyes at least)

Hi MarkRS,

As far as I know it is not required. Dynamic To works on its own when I test.

Hi Bob,

Ok, thanks for that.

I must've done something compromising then because without that it just doesn't work, and only sends to the cc I've got.
As soon as I filled in the (non-dynamic) "to" field it then sent to my dynamically generated addresses.😟

Hi MarkRS,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (use the Private tags if you prefer) and I'll take a closer look.

Hi Bob,

Here's the form, zipped up with the external file referred to in the code.

I'd be interested to know what it is I've done wrong.

Mark

Hi Mark,

I don't see anything 'wrong' - it works OK when I test - though I had to disable some parts (like DB Reads and Google ReCaptcha) to get the form to work. When I remove the Fixed To the email still sends correctly. Here's that part of the Debugger output (Debugger moved after the email action).
                    [0] => An email with the details below was sent successfully:
                    [1] => To:info+event@my_domain.net, info+451@my_domain.net

Hi Bob,

Yes, I thought you were playing with it, I got a few emails 😉

Well, d*mn! You're right. It does work.
I'm pretty certain it didn't before. My hosting company playing around with email perhaps? Dunno.

Thank you for looking at it, I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
