Email from address broken

[grantemsley]

Emails for forum alerts recently started coming up as (Unknown Sender) in gmail.

I think this is because the From address is:
"E-Cigarette Forum" <admin[AT]e-cigarette-forum[DOT]com>

This isn't valid, and breaks things. It will probably cause some problems with spam filters and such.
Can it be changed back to a proper email address with @ instead of [AT] and . instead of [DOT]?

I don't know if I would call it "broken"... but I have Gmail as well, and for the last 2 days they have been coming from "Unknown sender" in mine, too. Although with mine there is nothing in the 'From' section, and if you try to reply to it, it comes up blank in that field as well.

There doesn't seem to be any problem receiving the emails, just wanted to give you folks a heads up...

 

[grantemsley]

The from I was refering to is in the email headers...you won't see it unless you look at the original message source.

Yes, I am aware of that... but the last one I got where the subject line was correct was from Nov. 29, and said:

From: "E-Cigarette Forum" <no-reply@e-cigarette-forum.com>

Thanks for the heads-up, this was my fault: I'd entered the email address in the backend like that. Stupid of course as that only has to be done when it's printed, not for admin functions. Dohh.

Please tell me if it's fixed? Thanks.

Well it ain't that bad, pal - the emails look to be coming from forum@ecf now. Enjoy.
