mail plugin sender address

[bjorn]

I did not like how the mail plugin would take the sender address (From header) from config.php. So I changed it to use the users name and email address.

It was a very simple change in the init.php:

185c185
< $mail->AddReplyTo(strip_tags($_REQUEST['from_email']),
---
> $mail->setFrom(strip_tags($_REQUEST['from_email']),

Can this change be put into the official source? How do I submit it to the maintainers?

tripping email spoofing protection everywhere sounds like a great idea, op

bjorn, since you seem a bit slow... I'll translate what fox said:

NO

Ok, fair call fox about the email spoofing, altho does email spoofing protection trigger only the envelope or the headers too? I am thinking for example SPF only uses the envelope?

Even if the "From:" header could have the users name rather than "Tiny Tiny RSS" would look better to the recipient... but that is just personal opinion. e.g. From: Joe User <[email protected]>

To resolve this for me personally I will copy the mail plugin to a new plugin name/folder so my changes don't get wiped by a future git update.

Thanks.

i dunno about from name, it is still more or less spoofing and might trip overzealous filters of something like outlook.com

having a separate plugin copy is a good idea
