Title: Senders name?
Post by: zipper on November 20, 2002, 09:51:42 PM

Hi all.

I have phpbb and 4images on my site. I use the same smtp server and emailadress for both scripts and it works great.

But...

When i recieve a mail from phpbb (ex. verification) the senders name is the admin emailadress entered.
But when I get emails from 4images the sender of those mails is the actual username of the mailaccount. In my case something like "postman_pop_host" wich is the name I use for connecting to the mailserver with the postman account.

I have looked in the mailsqript for both phpbb and 4images and found that phpbb contains something called "extra_headers". Is there a way to fix this for 4images aswell?

Sorry for the long post. I get carried away sometimes.  :wink:

Hello,

when someone register to my site, he automatically gets a mail with the registration code.

That is ok, but the sender of the mail is marked as "nobody@server.schoolplaten.com"

i would like to change that "nobody@server.schoolplaten.com"

Do you have any idea where i can change this setting ?


i asked the helpdesk of my hosting compagny and their answer was

This happens because the script you have doesn't set headers properly for the email being sent out. I would suggest you review the script and recode it to include From and Reply-To headers to resolve your issue.

Someone knows how to solve this issue ?

thx !

And you are using SMTP or non-SMTP (aka mail() function)?
Is this happening with fresh, not modifyed email.php file?

$this->use_smtp = ($config['use_smtp'] == 1) ? 1 : 0;si i guess i use smtp (?)

No, SMTP or non-SMTP is set in the settings.
