Automated email from Nuke not right [SOLVED]

Worker Joined: Jan 17, 2007 Posts: 170

Hi Guys,

I've set the email "noreply@burnt-guild.com" to show when nuke sends out emails to users. It works fine for PM Notifications and new user registrations.

But when notifying users that their submitted content has been approved the email FROM is not what I entered in the admin center under config, instead it is (Guild@node3.c26)??

Under Preferences, there are several email addresses that you might want to "adjust" and they are:

Administrator Email:
Email to send the message:

Are these set properly?

yes I've checked them all... including the forums and sentinel ACP.

The only email which does not show proper return address is new content notifications to the user who submitted it.

What 'new content notifications' are we discussing here?
My initial thoughts if you are referring to news module or some other core module that is using the php mail function is that it is a host issue to do not having a vlaid return address. You can test that easily enough by creating a pop3 account for your 'noreply@' email address.
If that cures the problem, go back to your hosts control panel and set that pop3 account to redirect to ':blackhole:' (without the single quotes) and that will delete any mail sent to that adress.

By content notification emails I'm referring to are the emails that gets sent to users after they have successfully submitted new weblinks or downloads. I haven't tested the news with this.

Guardian: I did what you suggested, created a pop3 account for that email but I still have the same issues. The forums do send out to noreply@ when notifying of new posts etc. I thought there may have been a bug in the module that sends out the content approval emails

Just then I submitted a new link to my site. I then approved it as super admin. And my user account then received a email from: burnt@node4.c26 instead of my default selected: noreply@burnt-clan.com

I cannot believe how many typo's I made in that last post...
I'm not sure why you are having this issue to be perfectly honest. The only time I have seen similar problems is either when the host has done something weird with the php mail() function or or the server is Windows based.

I am assuming that user registrations are getting the 'from' email address ok?
Which of the two settings that Montego mentioned is the one our have set to noreply@ ?

yeah user registrations seem to be going through okay as with every other email sent from nuke such as forum post notifications, nuke sentinel notifications, new pm notifications.

the only one that reports wrong from address is the content emails Sad

Ok, I have checked the RN2.10 downloads and web links module and only web links is supposed to submit an email back upon approval. I could also not find any mailing of news acceptance articles or comments. To have these notifications, one would have to hack the code to do so... so, on to Web Links...

Try this and see if this works:

=== OPEN ===

modules/Web_Links/admin/index.php

=== FIND ===

Towards the very bottom of the file, find this code:

Code:




        $from = "$sitename";

=== CHANGE TO ===

Code:




        $from = "$sitename<$adminmail>";

=== FIND ===

Up above the line you just altered, find this:

Code:




function LinksAddLink($new, $lid, $title, $url, $cat, $description, $name, $email, $submitter) {


    global $prefix, $db, $sitename, $nukeurl, $admin_file;

=== ADD ===

Make that global line look like this:

Code:




    global $prefix, $db, $sitename, $nukeurl, $admin_file, $adminmail;

=== DONE ===

Let us know if that fixes it.

Montego, I think your on the money, except one thing,

$from = "$sitename<$adminmail>";

Shouldnt that be :
$from = "$adminmail";

Now the reason I ask,

This is your_account module snipet:
$subject = _ACTIVATIONSUB;
$from = "$adminmail";
mail($user_email, $subject, $message, 'From: '."$from\n".'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion());

From my version and as they stated, it works.

Excellent call, I was able to duplicate it and montego was dead on track.

Thanks montego!! That fixed it Smile

Another bug gone!

ozbutcher, had you tried it exactly as I had presented it, or as Darklord suggested? I did it the way I did it as I think having the sitename show up in the From is a "nice touch" for "end consumer" of the email.

I need to know so that I know exactly which change to make to RN. Thanks.

I used only your code Montego and the email address is now displaying as I have set it in my admin panel!! :clap:

I didn't test darklord's code because ur's seemed to have fixed it.

Ok. Thank you!

My apologies montego, what was I thinking? lol

I was thinking the from e-mail had to be a legitimate e-mail to be processed properly, I guess I spent too long away from nuke, sorry.

No worries m8. Either way works (should).
