@anthony8bc what version of ExpressionEngine are you encountering this? I wasn't able to reproduce the error in 7.4.9 when I tested the Send Email utility with the data shown in your screenshot.

@bryannielsen - we're using v7.3.14.

I've just tested again and I've found that in the Send Email utility the validation is actually failing because I had a left a space at the end of the email address. I tried using different email addresses and each one fails validation if there's a trailing space at the end of the address. Removing the space passes validation. I didn't spot this before.
