On v2.1.3, looking at Global Settings / Mail Settings, I have the following settings:
mailer: mail
from address: root@localhost.localdomain
from Name: admin
When I click "Test" to send a test email, the email arrives without a "From" address set, which looks to my spam filter as junk. Should the mail be setting a proper "From" address to lessen the possibility of identification as spam? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
I've set the CGBlog module to send notifications upon a new blog submission, but I'm not getting those messages due to this missing "From" field.
Thanks for any ideas!

Mailer doesn't set "From" address in emails
Re: Mailer doesn't set "From" address in emails
Seems not a CMSMS problem. Just tested:
Note that in general it seems like a bad idea to use 'root@localhost.localdomain' as the from address. Please try using a email address that really exists on that server/domain.
Code: Select all
To: [removed]@gmail.com
Subject: CMSMS Mail Test message

SOLVED: Mailer doesn't set "From" address in emails
Ah -- that did work. I somehow thought the "From address" had to be "root@localhost.localdomain" in order for the mailer to work.
Thanks, Velden!
