Summary: Allow specyfing custom email sender
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Email
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: avbid...@fortytwo.ch
Hi,
By default, Mediawiki sends email (tested: email address verification mails,
watched page changes) with an envelope from address of the user name the
webserer runs as (often www-data@<hostname>.)
There are various reasons why this should be something different, not least of
all sender address verification. (It is not always useful / sensible to make
the Wiki server accept email from the outside, and also the wiki server often
should not have the organisation's domain name as its official mail name.)
So, please,
* either allow mediawiki to just use whatever is used for the From: header as
envelope, too
* or to specify a hard-coded envelope sender address.
Currently, both would be ok for my usecase, but other applications might of
course vary.
If the feature exists, it should be documented ... I couldn't find it, and the
folks in #mediawiki apparently didn't know it either...
Thanks
