    • Newsletter Question

    Posted by jsteinitz posts: 22 United States

    I have a sendmailish question about Newsletters--my newsletters work fine except for one area: all newsletters are going out with a "from" adress of nobody at mydomain.com. The "nobody" part of the user name causes the mail to be identified as SPAM by many mail servers. I've tried to learn how to modify sendmail so that it automatically substitutes a different name but can't figure it out. Does anyone know the best/easiest way to fix this problem?

    Firstly

    Check the sendersname on admin->General?

    Otherwise there is a PHP.INI value you can set for a default outgoing email addy.

    Damian, I'll try your suggestions--thanks very much for the help.

    Here is what ultimately worked :

    1. Changed the sender's name on admin->General as per Damian's recommendation--

    2.Added the following command as described below:

    php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f admin at whatever.org"

    The Syntax listed above must be added to the virtual host section of the httpd.conf file or, if using https, must be added to the ssl.conf file. This allows the newsletter feature to assign a "from" address other than the apache default "nobody" which is often rejected by post offices filtering for Spam.


    Newsletters are working perfectly now--what a great feature!
