Sender Name of Forum E-Mails

[Amaury]

Something else I've been trying to get an answer to on vBulletin Community Forum and thought I'd see if I could get some help here.

Read through this.

If you look at the source or headers of one of the messages, what does the From: header look like?

Wrapped it in code tags so only those registered can see.

Hmm...I can't see why that would happen. It should be using the Forum Name value from your settings, and when you changed the x_mailer phrase that probably should have had an effect. I'd probably have to put some code in to debug the mail start() function to see what's going on.

Or maybe someone else will have an idea.

First a couple of "qualifying questions" to help narrow down the cause.

#1 Are there any mail mods installed?

#2 Does it now show the forum name on every (birthday, new calender event, etc etc) outgoing email or just the thread subscriptions?

1. As far as I can see, no.
2. No e-mails are sent out for birthdays, events, etc., just notifications for subscriptions and new PMs.

Under phrase manager check the following phrases under email body text

postdigest
threaddigest
pmreceived

I don't think those are the cause, but the only other idea I have is to re-import the language xmls (using the tools.php file in the do not upload folder).

I'll have to check once we get the forum back online.

Thanks for the information.

I'm not finding these.

I don't think any of those are your problem, after looking at them on my test site I can't change the sender info (change from site name to email address) just by fooling with those.

I think it's a setting in the acp or a modification causing this.
