Weird Email Issue With Vbulletin, Anyone Experience This?
 

All of a sudden, for no particular reason, I am receiving new user notifications under the email address of the "super admin" instead of the listed email that was being used for years. There have been no email changes. I checked everything and can't tell why this is happening all of a sudden.

You would need to provide more detail, the emails that are being used & a header from each one.

The first thing that pops into mind is that its being forwarded to your email.

The emails themselves are normal "new user" notification emails and they are being received by the correct email address.

However, the "sender" address being used by vbulletin is all of a sudden the "super admin" instead of the email address listed in the settings, which is the same email address being used for years.

You didn't really provide more details, nor did you provide the header information from the emails like Anthony asked for.

Here is one example

There is a new user, ulove at Boxing Forum

Ok, but that still dont provide us with detail on the setup

Snake, I'm not sure what you mean. The email address set up under Vbulletin is boxingscene@gmail.com (as the email used for outgoing email from the forum). Instead, boxingscene1@aol.com (super admin's email) is all of sudden being listed as the outgoing email address and no changes have been made on our end in vbulletin.

Yes, details like those help, what the emails are & whats going on in detail, we cant help without details.

I assume you have no hacks installed that relate to emails?

Did you change the way emails are sent out, smtp?

Not that I know of.
