Stop faking sender with forum emails January 17, 2016, 09:57:08 pm The forum appears to fake the from field in post reports as the email address of the user who posted the report. This is a surefire way to get messages dropped as spam.
Re: Stop faking sender with forum emails Reply #1 – January 17, 2016, 10:17:05 pm Disregard that, I see that it sends from:From: $sender_name <$board_email or $modSettings['maillist_mail_from']>So it's only displaying the sender's email address, not actually sending from it.

Re: Stop faking sender with forum emails Reply #3 – January 21, 2016, 10:41:18 pm Its just the envelope to make it nice, its still sending it from your site, no spoofing or anything. Its the way mail lists do it as well. The email maze gets more complicated all the time and we have quite a few headers to keep things running smooth as we can. Note if you ever end up being constantly tagged as spam then you may also need to set mail.force_extra_parameters = "-f legituser@yoursite.com" in your php.ini where that user is a trusted-users for mail from your site or really your account. That mostly is for shared hosting though, where you may have set email id's in your site setup but those id's are not trusted users for the account. the -f will fix that.
