    Contour Fails to send Mail

    Hello there

    Just started to use Contour today, and so fare, I am impressed.

    However, I am having some problems with it, one of the most important ones being that it doesn't send mails. I havn't changed anything at the moment in the form. Simply created it, inserted it. Also tried looking at some of the topics here, but doesn't seem like they had a fix that worked.

    But I did find out, that if I go into the Config/umbracoSettings.config file and change:

    <notifications>
      <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->
      <email>[email protected]</email>
    </notifications>
    

    Into a real email, it sends without a problem, expect the reciever will be myself

    <notifications>
          <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->
          <email>"[email protected]"</email>
    </notifications>
    

    So it looks like Contour isn't registering the inputted email on the contact form and use that as the sender. So hoping I can get some help to fix the problem and get the product up and rolling.

    Also, not sure if this is the problem; but I am unable to insert the macro into a rich text editor, saying: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." But I am able to insert it into the template.

    Kind Regards Søren

    You don't need the extra quotes so not <email>"[email protected]"</email> but <email>[email protected]</email>

    Seems like you can't delete your posts.. But I've fixed the problem myself.

    It turns out after some hours of work, my brain malfuncitoned.. You are suppose to enter a email and if you enter your own, you are ofcourse the sender..
