Outgoing Email Names

This is a BETA

What it does?
Allows you to change the "from" email address for sent messages within different parts of your vBulletin. example: when sending an email saying a member has received a new PM, you could change it to say 'from yourForum <newpm@myforum.com>'. another example is for a welcome email to your members <welcome@myforum.com>

Why would I use this?
I haven't come up with all the reasons yet but here's what I have:
1. improves the aesthetics of the email address people see as a return address.
2. helps you create better spam filters that can reject based on from address (ie. anybody that sent an email back to newpm@mysite.com could have their email canned by a filter, cause most likely they are a spammer.)

downsides?
due to my lack of skills I have a feeling this adds several queries to the sending of emails, so, if you have a very large site.. it may cause problems until I can get some suggestions how to improve efficiency

How to use?
1. Download Product
2. install product
3. go to vBulletin options and start setting stuff!

Geez I like it soo much, where do I click install :banana:

This actually looks useful, but with the last post being a year ago saying there are probably errors, I'm reluctant to try it.
