Sort of a multiple bug here but all related. If you send over the account quota of emails per day, then the script will silently fail all POST requests. This means that not only is your form data NOT sent to your email, but it also does not make it into the form. Double bummer! For a personal account, this only supports 100 emails per day. This should also be mentioned in the tutorial, as there are this and a few other limitations to the entire script.

Disabling the email submission or putting it after the form data is ideal. There is a separate issue of the error messages not propagating to the user (and they should), which someone brought up in another issue. The error displays in the console, but users won't know that. Major bugs here.
