    How to modify the "From" field when a registration message is sent

    Posted 18 years 1 week ago
    • hi,

      I would like to modify the "From" field when users register and get a registration email, and the Subject.
      Can you help and let me know what files I need to modify this?

      thanks,

      vic

    • My emails from joomla are being sent as This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. support sent me this:

      Any ideas how I change this in Joomla?

      Quote
      This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: header in your email. If the From: header is not formatted correctly, empty or invalid our system will change the from address to be <username>@<box>.bluehost.com. To stop this, you must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From header.

      Examples of headers that should work would be:
      From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
      From: <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>
      From: "name" <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>

      Examples of headers that will NOT work:
      From: "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it."
      From: user @ domain.com

      Alternative for PHP Users:
      - You can also modify which account should be used when sending out using the mail() function. Inside the local php.ini file, you will find a line of code that looks something like this(around line 319):

      sendmail_from = This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

      Be sure to uncomment this by deleting the ';' before the directive. Also, the account you use must be a valid created account.

    • You should be able to config this in Global settings

      1. Login to Joomla! Admin
      2. Go to Site > Global Settings > Mail Tab
      3. Change the email there

      forum.joomla.org may be a better place to post as it is for Joomla! queries

    • Hi,

      thanks for the reply. I did that but was still failing.

      however, it was failing because I did not create an account on my domain from the sender.

      the global configuration showed
      Mail From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

      once i created the admin mail account under mydomain.com, all worked fine.

      thanks for the quick response
