Contact Form error mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2

So I need again your help guys. I’m building for the first time a contact form but despite my efforts, nothing.

The structure is the same, page “Contacts” with modular.md

modular.md

title: Contacts
cache_enable: false

form:
name: contact-form
action: /contacts
fields:
- name: form-name
label: Name
placeholder: Name
autocomplete: on
type: text
validate:
required: true

    - name: form-email
      label: Email
      placeholder: Email
      type: email
      validate:
        rule: email
        required: true

    - name: form-phone
      label: Phone
      placeholder: Phone
      type: tel

    - name: textarea
      id: textarea
      label: messages
      placeholder: Tuo Messaggio
      type: textarea
      validate:
        required: true

buttons:
    - type: submit
      value: Send

process:
    - email:
        from: "{{ config.plugins.email.from }}"
        to:
          - "{{ config.plugins.email.from }}"
        subject: "[Contact] {{ form.value.name|e }}"
        body: "{% include 'forms/data.html.twig' %}"
    - save:
        fileprefix: contact-
        dateformat: Ymd-His-u
        extension: txt
        body: "{% include 'forms/data.txt.twig' %}"
    - display: thankyou 

content:
items: '@self.modular
order:
by: default
dir: asc
custom:
- _map
- _contact

Inside _contact sub-folder there is a form.md and form.html.twig has {% include ‘forms/form.html.twig’ %}

So the form is loaded perfectly but when I submit it, I got this error:
Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2.

Email-Plugin is setted as SMTP with Mailtrap.io account, one personal email for “from” and “to”, and I used different emails for submit test.
Everything is update.

I don’t get what is going wrong, do you have any ideas?

Ok it seems I got the issue, on modular.md file there is

  • name: form-phone
    label: Phone
    placeholder: Phone
    type: tel

I don’t know if it needs some validation pattern in order to work propely, but by deleting it the form works fine.

What does the whole page frontmatter look like?

Sorry for the late reply @rhuk!
Actually there is not much more than what I wrote above but I try to be more detailed if you need.

I have a 06.contacts folder with a modular.md and 3 subfolders: _contact , _map , thankyou

lets skip the _map subfolder, these are the frontmatters:

modular.md

title: Contacts
cache_enable: false

content:
items: '@self.modular
order:
by: default
dir: asc
custom:
- _map
- _contact

form:
name: contact-form
action: /contacts
fields:

- name: form-name
  label: Name
  placeholder: Name
  autocomplete: on
  type: text
  validate:
   required: true

- name: form-email
  label: Email
  placeholder: Email
  type: email
  validate:
    rule: email
    required: true

- name: form-phone
  label: Phone
  placeholder: Phone
  type: tel

- name: textarea
  id: textarea
  label: messages
  placeholder: Tuo Messaggio
  type: textarea
  validate:
    required: true

buttons:
- type: submit
value: Send

process:
- email:
from: "{{ config.plugins.email.from }}"
to:
- "{{ config.plugins.email.from }}"
subject: "[Contact] {{ form.value.name|e }}"
body: “{% include ‘forms/data.html.twig’ %}”
- save:
fileprefix: contact-
dateformat: Ymd-His-u
extension: txt
body: “{% include ‘forms/data.txt.twig’ %}”
- display: thankyou

form.md in _contact subfolder

title: Form

formdata.md in thankyou subfolder

title: Thankyou !

Your email has been sent!

As I said the problem was I setted a field type in the form as “tel” , by deleting it or changing it to “text” it worked fine.

Hope this may help and thanks for your great work on Grav!

I’m getting this same error.
I set up a form a week or so ago with no issue. I’m revisiting it make changes to the fields. Whenever I make a change and test the form, I get this error.

The form works as it is above. Small changes will throw an error though. For instance:

  • If I change validate.required to false on email, I get the error. I can change validate.required to false on the other fields with no problem.
  • If I change type to text instead of email, I get the error.
  • If I remove any of the list items under fields, I get the error.
  • I can delete all fields except for email and it works. If I change the name of the field from email to something else, it then gives that error again. Have I somehow broken something by giving the field name: email ?

It makes no sense to me why these small changes would create this error. Any insight would be appreciated!
