Problem

Contact form submissions save to the leads page but do not send notification email to ryan@aimloperations.com.

Server log:

Error sending the email Invalid address; only AI ML Operations could be parsed from "AI ML Operations, LLC <info@aimloperations.com>"

Cause

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL uses an unquoted display name containing a comma (AI ML Operations, LLC). RFC 5322 treats the comma as an address-list separator, so the From header fails to parse.

Fix

Quote the display name:

"AI ML Operations, LLC" <info@aimloperations.com>

Update settings default, email send fallbacks, and .env examples. If production sets DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL unquoted, update that env value too.
