Email Notification (Not completed successfully) screenshots

[blacksmith]

I write a message from top menu: MyAccount > Messages > New Message then I click Submit Message. The message go out form TimeTrex and entered into my mail server.

So now the message is in the mail server and ready to be sent to its destination which are these tow emails entered into MyAccount > Contact Information



The problem is that my email host doesn't allow such an email address sender like this: localhost@timetrex

This is a screenshot of my mail server:



How can I change the sender email address to be: timetrex@mydomain.com with or without the user name and password?

By the way, this is a screenshot of my php.ini:



Thanks

The email's "From:" address will use whatever domain name you use to access the TimeTrex interface.

So, if you enter:

http://localhost/timetrex/

into your browser to access TimeTrex, thats where the emails will come from.

But if you enter:

http://timetrex.mydomain.com/

The emails will come from: timetrex.mydomain.com

Thanks for your reply.

Now you solved half of the problem. Now I know from where come the email sender name.

The second half is that I want manually configure what is after "@" in the email's "From:" address. The email's "From:" address must contain ".com" or ".whatever" at its end even though I have a local host or an intranet.

Is there any way to do that.

Thanks very much

You have two options, change your hosts file:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

And add a line similar to:

127.0.0.1 timetrex.mydomain.com

This should allow you to access TimeTrex with the above domain, and therefore change the "From:" address used in emails.

Or modify the source code to change the from address.

Thanks for immediate reply.

Now we have two alternatives. Thanks for the first one.

As for the second alternative, may you refer just to the - starting point - file in source code that is responsible for changing the "From" email address. And let the rest for me. I will share my results if I have any progress.

Thanks again.

I would start with either of these two files:

modules/message/MessageFactory.class.php
modules/core/ExceptionFactory.class.php
