Dear all,

this is weird: All notifications from the system (like contact requests, new releases of views etc) which should come from the systems address have a user's email address as sender. This user does NOT have admin rights he only has rights in his institution. This only happened after an update of MAHARA, never noticed that before. I cannot find any feature in MAHARA where I can check for this and change it... or am I being stupid and blind????

Any help much appreciated!

Hi Sigi,

There's a setting called 'noreplyaddress' which is used as the From address for most of those emails.  It should default to 'noreply@' your server's hostname, but it's possible that someone changed it.

You can override it in your config.php file by adding a line like this:

$cfg->noreplyaddress = '[email protected]';

Thanks Richard,

that's what I thought ... told my hoster to check for config.php as I cant access it.

Cheers

By default there is no noreplyaddress at config.php You can add it optionally.

But also if you have access to phpmyadmin you can change it in config table
