I am encountering a problem with the email a friend function. I enter a valid address in the “to” field, but receive the message above.
I am on 1.6.7 and MSM.
This has previously worked fine. I think the error first appeared after upgrading from 1.6.6 to 1.6.7, but of this a am not completely sure.

Your template seems to be mixing a few things. On the one hand side, you are using {exp✉️tell_a_friend}, on the other side you seem to create the form that this tag should output yourself? Try using some example code from the docs, see if this works and take it from there.

Thanks Ingmar,
- that was the info I needed to immediately solve this problem. Everything now works fine. Was pasting in and modifying code from a couple of sources, and not realizing the overlap.
