FormItAutoResponder stops FormIt if email field is left blank

FormItAutoResponder stops FormIt if email field is left blank.

If I fill out the form and leave my email input box empty and hit submit, FormIt stops with FormItAutoResponder.

Is that a bug or a feature?

The reason I ask is because sometimes you need to send an email to the customer if they input an email address. Also, having the email address as required is not a good idea all the time.

Revo 2.1.0 RC4
FormIt 1.5.6 PL

I recognized a similar bug/feature: FormIt also stops when you enter a non existing email-address while processing FormItAutoResponder.

Does anybody have an idea how to make FormIt keep on working if somebody enters accidentally a wrong email-address?

What value is given back by FormItAutoResponder when somebody enters a wrong email-address. Maybe we can inform the visitor about the wrong address or does FormItAutoResponder does not give back any values on failure?

What about changing line 46 of /core/components/formit/elements/snippets/snippet.formitautoresponder.php from


into


If I understand it correct this change would protect formit from being stopped by wrong or missing email-addresses.

Can anybody confirm if this is a good way?

Can anybody of the modx-team tell if this changing from false into true in line 46 is a good idea? Or shouldn´t this be changed?
