    Formit problem: "from field " not recognized,

    Instead of Breakaway Distributing, it says "unknown sender"
    I'm pretty sure that this was fine before...

    What could this be? Any ideas anyone?
    Formit code

    [[!FormIt? &hooks=`email,redirect,FormItAutoResponder` &emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl` &emailSubject=`Message from Breakaway Distributing` &emailFrom=`[email protected]` &emailFromName=`Breakaway Distributing` &emailTo=`[email protected]` &validate=`contact_name:required:minLength=`2`, contact_email:email:required, contact_message:required` &redirectTo=`78` &fiarTpl=`autoResponseTpl` &fiarSubject=`Thank You for Contacting Us` &fiarToField=`contact_email` &fiarFromName=`Breakaway Distributing`]]



    email: autoResponseTpl 

    <span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, sans-serif">[[+contact_name]] Thank you for your message.

      The way you have those hooks set up it wont fire FormItAutoResponder, as it will have redirected by then.

      The email properties look fine to me... could it be something on the email-side of things that tries to verify the email and renders it as unknown as it's (by default, anyway) sent via PHP's mail()?

        hmm, but it does fire it.

        You may be correct, cuz I changed the &emailTo to my own address to test it. Maybe my client won't have the problem, cuz he owns the site.

        Thanks
