I have to say that mail clients do mess up email addresses, so I'll double check this one.
The error message would indicate that the @from variable is actually empty: Warning: Invalid From address '' The actual @from email address in the message-to-be-sent is: Craig L Russell <c...@apache.org> I dunno where the non-email-address apache....@apache.org came from. Not from anything I wrote I hope. So we need to look at the @from variable. And also figure out why this check is necessary, since there is no similar check in other document filing code (ccla, grant, emeritus).
