Happy Birthday Email

[dfc005]

Is it possible to change the "From" address in the happy birthday email to something other than the webmaster email?

I run quite a large board and get quite sick of our users emailing me back with a "thanks!" or a default "Out of the office!" email.

Cheers!

So should I assume this isn't possible? Or no one knows?

Anything is possible. But the difficulty lies in actually implementing it.

What you are asking for is probably quite time consuming to look into and do. I haven't come across a modification that does this.

I assumed it would be a simple fix to be honest. Find where the email is sent from and change the "From" address or something similar.

Thanks for the response at least.

That would mean changing ALL the emails from the board/admin........ you would need coding for each different email function, ie. PM,regisration,post subscription etc.

Yeah, but surely there is a function that sends the Happy Birthday email. That triggers it or something. It must be a scheduled task or something. So, if you knew where that was, you could possibly add a seperate variable which is a new "From" address and then only the Happy Birthday emails use that email.

Obviously I'm just taking a guess there, I have no idea how it actually works but with the majority of the mods on this board making substantial changes to the way vB works as a whole, I did think this wouldn't be the hardest of changes.
