Sending mail fails

Description

I attempted to test the fix for visible HTML in plain-text messages in 5.x-1.x-dev. I am unable to do so because the module fails to send mail.

Get this error message: Error sending email: "The following From address failed: admin " From: "admin " To: "clintonb@mit.edu"

admin is my username. The mail component of the update seems to be using this username rather than the site name and address (ie. My Site's Name ).

Tested with SMTP and MimeMail modules along with standard (no module needed) mail.

Do you have any other modules sending e-mails in your installation? I mean this could be a problem with your php configuration or MTA.

I have the same problem with RSVP 5.x.1.3 & drupal 5.3 : The following from address failed: username "From "username" to:my@email.address

It used to work ages ago, so I suspect some conflict with some other module I've installed. The only email-related modules I can see are:
Simplenews 5.x.1.1
Forum (don't think that uses email???)
Event 5.x.1.0

Email from the contact form works ok via the SMTP module. I can send a newsletter ok too.

Can anyone suggest where I can start looking?

Thanks

I seem to have 'fixed' it for me by changing line 1243 of rsvp.module to:

$from = $user->mail;

At least, I think that's all I ended up changing.
