Topic: How can I change "mail_from" value ?

Hi,

when punBB 1.3 sends emails, the "mail_from" is not what I expected.

How can I change that to a specific email adress ?

I tried to change cache/cache_config.php with 

  'o_mailing_list' => 'foo@bar.tld',
  'o_admin_email' => 'foo@bar.tld',
  'o_webmaster_email' => 'foo@bar.tld',

but there's no changes.

++, sputnick.

Hi Grez,

I have the good settings in Administration > Settings > E-mail, so I don't understand.

What emails are you talking about? What is your current value of the "From" field in the letter and what did you expect to see?

Delete all files in ./cache folder and then go to Administration > Settings > E-mail and set the right value wink

//BTW info for future - don't change cache, there are only temporary files for faster loading - you can set all values in Administration wink

Done, but still having problems. I have a postfix log sample :

first with a real error to yahoo : :

Thanks, I find a workaround -> using smtp.googlemail.com:<SMTP PORT>
