@seabelis , I followed your instructions, but I cannot reproduce your issue.

Can you please export your configuration ("Save as Template"). The file can b downloaded with Site Assets within the portals template folder. Please attach that file to a comment.
If your fnl setup contains sensitive information, please setup a simplified form first, retest your issue and export then.

I have retested with a form that has only one field and is set to send an email to my address on new. So it seems to have nothing to do with the collected data, just sending the email. I get the following error:
Error: is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The parameter 'address' cannot be an empty string.

There is no problem generating email from the site itself; other modules can do so without issue.

Lisa, I applied your template and it worked for me.
Can you please set also your address for from: and try again?

[seabelis]

Yes. Thank you. This does work. I didn't realized the portal address was no longer used as default. Thank you!

[SCullman]

The portal address is used by default. It works for me without setting _from.

Code

                    if (from == string.Empty)
                    {
                        from = Globals.GetPortalSettings().Email;
                    }

It looks like there is no Email defined for your portal - or there is no email anymore in that portal setting for other reason, e.g. a bug within core.
