StoneFly Techonology	Tuesday 31 August 2004 1:28:22 pm I am using Apache, PHP, and MysSQL on Redhat linux and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to change the "From" in the e-mail that is sent to a user after he or she has just registered. Right now the e-mails say they are from "Apache" and I'd like it to say something different like "Webmaster", specifically, like webmaster@mysite, com.instead of apache@muysite.com. Please help!

Ole Morten Halvorsen	Tuesday 31 August 2004 2:03:07 pm Hi, In your site.ini.append file set the EmailSender under [MailSettings] Example: [MailSettings] EmailSender=webmaster@mysite.com Ole M.

StoneFly Techonology	Tuesday 31 August 2004 2:52:15 pm Ole, Thanks for your quick reply. I've tried doing what you wrote, but it has not worked. I even tried restarting apache, and sendmail multiple times in conjunction with the ini settings. Can you offer any further help? perhaps the header from an e-mail with the wrong "From"? Thank you for all your help, Kimball
Bruce Morrison	Tuesday 31 August 2004 4:38:44 pm I haven't looked at the code but I suspect that this is an issue with the way the ezmail system intergrates with the local mail configuration (via the mail function I suspect). I suspect you are using sendmail for delivery and not SMTP. I _think_ this would be an issue of the Envelope address Vs the Header address. Have you tried switching to using SMTP? See http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~jw35/docs/php-mail.html for an explainatiopn of 'Envelope' vs 'Header' address.
