When the From field in WFFM is not being used

If you might happen to be running Sitecore 6.6 still, and be using WFFM for your forms, you can run into this issue.


It seems that, for some reason, the WFFM module ignores the From field defined locally on a form, and always use the one defined on the Send Email Message save action.


This has been fixed in WFFM 2.4 rev. 150619, but if you are using Sitecore 6.6, you cannot upgrade to this version of the module.


So to fix this, you need a single DLL from Sitecore Support (just ask for the file "Sitecore.Support.420165.dll", and change the Save Email Message save action to use this Assembly and Class: "Sitecore.Support.420165.dll" and "Sitecore.Support.Form.Submit.SendMessage"


They publish the save action to the web database.


Now the save action will be sending mails using the locally defined From, and only fall back to the one on the save action when needed.
