Hello, I think we just resolved a similar (same?) problem in regards to the "from" listing (we are on SLM 7.1) with the help of BMC Tech Support.
He had me modify the following 4 Filters: SLM:RuleActionNotifier:ExpandNamesAndNotify_ARTaskYes_WebURLYes SLM:RuleActionNotifier:ExpandNamesAndNotify_ARTaskYes_WebURLNo SLM:RuleActionNotifier:ExpandNamesAndNotify_ARTaskNo_WebURLYes SLM:RuleActionNotifier:ExpandNamesAndNotify_ARTaskNo_WebURLNo For each of these, in the If Action/Notify action, on the Messages tab, I deleted "$SLA_NotificationAlertTo$" from the "From" field and left it blank. This appears to have corrected the problem - now our SLM emails have the normal "from" info in them.

And we experience exactly same behaviour. In our case, however, it is a progress as until recently SLM was sending 4 identical email messages to the Incident assignee instead of just one (two messages looked like coming from the person themselves and two from the Remedy email account). We were advised to disable a list of filters that were missed by the SLM 7.5 installation. After this update we only get a single email (hurrah!), but it appears as coming from the person who receives the notification. As we notify only the incident assignee it is not a big deal for us. Not much help. Just letting you know you are not on your own.

I have set Milestones, and Actions, which are basically emails going out at 95% of the SLA time expired notification. All is working fine and as expected EXCEPT The email seems to come from one of the addressees! so for example I have 2 people configured to receive emails as notifications say [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] on top of the email it says it is coming from efg instead of Servicedesk, where all other emails seem to originate from. All other AR System notification have the correct header, except the emails going out of SLM. I have tried to change the names around, and now it says it is coming from abc! Any one have any ideas what could be causing this?
