I found a kink in my Zencart email configuration that rendered my 'Contact Us' section virtually useless. For those of you using a server with the following specs may experience the same issue:

Windows 2k3
IIS6.0
Zencart v. 1.3.5

NOTE: Prior to 1.3 This was not an issue. Mail was still being sent with an incorrect 'Sent From' title.

-------------------------------------------

Location: Configuration > Email Setup > Set "Contact Us" Email Dropdown List

SYMPTOM:
Mail sent from the 'Contact Us' works only when first dropdown option selected. Other dropdown contacts > no email receieved.

If you list multiple contact options you may experience problems when sending from a listing other than the very fist option in your drop down. For example I have setup the following contact options:

Account Administration
Privacy Officer
Webmaster

Each option having it's own email.

The values listed in: Configuration > Email Setup > Set "Contact Us" Email Dropdown List are as follows:

Account Administration <email1@domain>, Privacy Officer <[email protected]>, Webmaster <[email protected]>

These accounts are setup as instructed within Zen Cart:

Set "Contact Us" Email Dropdown List
On the "Contact Us" Page, set the list of email addresses , in this format: Name 1 <email@address1>, Name 2 <email@address2>

Account Administration would recieve mail, Privacy Officer and Webmaster would not.

SOLUTION:
Remove space between Name and <email@address>. Now the configuration looks like:

Account Administration<email1@domain>, Privacy Officer<[email protected]>, Webmaster<[email protected]>

Notice:

OLD
Account Administration <email1@domain>

NEW
Account Administration<email1@domain>

I had numerous problems with the SMPTAUTH setup (not a Zen Cart issue, server firewall issue), and this finding was simple byproduct of attempting to get it working right.
