On a form which is only writing to MYSQL DB the PHP script also tries to send an email to 'yourname@address.com'. This gets bounced by the email server and is tracked as spam. For a future version I would suggest that the option should be selectable send email or write to db or both. I ended up with several emails in the server temp queue all sent from yourname@address.com. If you leave it blank then it errors out due to the validate email function.
So far I patched it using the custom form processing feature and setting $mailto=''; added just before the if $mailto !='';
Once again I am amazed at some of the flexibility built in, but of course we will be asking for more
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && isset($_POST['formid']) && $_POST['formid'] == 'someformid')
{
$mailto = 'yourname@address.com';
$mailfrom = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : $mailto;
$subject = 'Contact Information';
$message = 'Values submitted from web site form:';
$success_url = './reunion_tracker_success.html';
$error_url = './reunion_tracker_error.html';
$mysql_server = 'localhost';
$mysql_database = 'someDB';
$mysql_table = 'someTable';
$mysql_username = 'someUser';
$mysql_password = 'somePwd';

try
{
if (!ValidateEmail($mailfrom))
{
$error .= "The specified email address (" . $mailfrom . ") is invalid!\n<br>";
throw new Exception($error);
} ** This will terminate the POST process if the mailfrom is left blank.

if ($mailto != '')
{
mail($mailto, $subject, $body, $header);
} ** this attempts to send the mail to the default "youremail@address.com"
