I am getting the above error message when trying to send a quick email to less then 50 contacts via extended search. I setup the outgoing email as SMTP + sender address and was able to send a test email. I didn't configure any crons yet because I thought that was only required for CiviMail but maybe I'm wrong. Any help appreciated...

  • Quick email doesn't need cron. Are there error messages in the log file?

  • There is only this one liner in the log. Looks like the send call throws an exception: github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/…

  • You can try adding $e->getTraceAsString() to that line, so that it also logs the stack trace.

  • I have added the stacktrace above. It doesn't tell me a lot though.

  • It tells us that $message is the problem var (3 lines up), so then my next step would be to debug what is $message and what is $params['html'], and if it's not obvious from that, then what happens inside self::setEmailHeaders().

I've put up a PR at https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/30172. It worked for me. Can you confirm it also fixes it for you?

Just on line 208 of CRM/Utils/Mail.php, change

$result = $mailer->send($to, $headers, $message);

to

$result = $mailer->send($to, $headers, $message ?? '');

  • Yes, it's fixed. I wouldn't do the null check inside the send call though, probably inside setEmailHeaders.
