I have a simple list with one field I named ‘Recipient’. It is a name field that allows you to select other sharepoint users. The workflow has one action, send email that does a workflow lookup at the Recipient filed on the current item and returns the field as a semicolon delimited email address. When I create a new item and select myself as the recipient the email gets sent but if I select anyone else the workflow goes into suspend status with the following status:
I do not want to complicate this workflow by using a task. It is very simple. If certain fields meet certain criteria, an approver is set accordingly. This all works so it is not the problem. The problem comes in when I send an email to anyone other than a person specifically selected in the To: field of the Send Email action. If I select myself, the email works fine, so my email connection settings should all be working. But when I select the CurrentItem:Approver field in the To: field, the email is never sent. The workflow is suspended. I can verify that the CurrentItem:Approver contains a valid email address, and I can confirm that my SharePoint server can communicate with my email server.
Not sure how to include screen shots but I have uploaded them as files.
