Register email is ok, but can not send emails from the "contact us" form.

My site can send emails when registering, but can not receive emails from the "contact us" form.

I spend a lot of time checking every setting in the ACP, but no luck.

So I decided to check the source code. I found functions_messenger.php is where the email sends and function msg_email() is the place I should check.

After var_dump some variables, I found I can't understand the "to" variable, it should be the email address that "contact us" email send to.

This is what happens, on line 543, I var_dump($this->addresses['to']), I got:

array(1) { [0]=> array(2)

{ ["email"]=> string(20) "contact_us@mysite.com" ["name"]=> string(13) "Administrator" }

}

So we got the correct email address contact_us@mysite.com.

But on line 632, I var_dump($mail_to), I got:

string(51) "=?US-ASCII?Q?Administrator?= "

That's where I can't understand, how could it send an email to the address "=?US-ASCII?Q?Administrator?= "， my PhpBB version is 3.3.9.

And this is another person who has errors too:

There is something wrong i just tested in on my board (3.3.9) and a test board (3.3.8) and the contact us e-mail was delivered on 3.3.8 but 3.3.9 wasn't

EDIT. on 3.3.8 it works when you are logged (I unchecked the send a copy checkbox) in otherwise mail doesn't come.

EDIT 2 Weirdly if I used different email it started working on 3.3.9 but only when logged in

EDIT 3 Scratch the 2nd edit it only works when email in acp email settings matches the one on your admin/founder account.
