Been using RC2 for a while now on a live project.

I'd started to notice an increase in people not being able to approve their registration.

In the event log were lot's of the same message.

A "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address." error occruing in YAF.Classes.Utils.SendMailThread.SendMailThreaded.

So I poked around a bit.

Discovered the yaf_email table.

Had a look at it.

The first record had an email address of:


Yup, with quotes around the portion before the @.

This is quite obviously the problem the error refers to.

The email in question was a registration verification email.

Once I deleted the offending record the rest of the table sent fine and it's now empty.

Should this one invalid record stop the rest of the mails in yaf_mail being sent and effectively blocking the queue?

it shouldn't no... and in fact, it should delete the offending message if it fails to send a couple of times. But there could be bugs.

Pity I deleted it.

I didn't look at the number of failures or anything.

I'm going to see if I can replicate locally whilst debugging then.

Time to dig out the source for the first time. :)

Should I be checking out from here:

?

This should help you get started...
