[#615]

Is it possible to change email Display Name?

At the moment, I send email trought postfix and recipient see "www-data" as Display Name (Ubuntu default apache user).

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi Babynus,

more often I thought, it would be a nice improvement, if parameters.php could be modified with the same as startup screen. This might be selectable in Administration screen.

I've just edit $paramMailSender but this one is about "from" parameter, not "Display Name".

Man sendmail:

-F full_name
Set the sender full name. This overrides the NAME environment variable, and is used only with messages that have no From: message header.

-f sender
Set the envelope sender address. This is the address where delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message header overrides the error return address.

It is an already planned improvement : Ticket #554, planned for V2.7 😉

$parameterMailSender is the "From" parameter about the header defined in the mail() PHP function. Don't mismatch with unix sendMail From parameter.

You can format the from like this :

$paramMailSender="Display name "

Thanks for the advice.

It's a my mail client problem I think (see attachment), isn't it?

I think it is an issue with your mail server, rather than client.

I tested from test database, with Lotus client (same as yours ?) and Displayed name is OK :

It is also OK with outlook client :
