set FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL in config/site.php

If you don't c5 uses the admin users mail address

thanks for the quickness man!

Well, I look like this now:
<?php
stuff in the middle
define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL ','');
?>

but still doing the same thing.
Am I messed up?
Thanks!!

define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL ','Whatever@what.com');

replace the email :)

O. ok. So it wont pick the proper email, it will just be some made up default email then.. ?
Which is fine I guess.

I'll try:
define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL ','no-reply@seffrc.com');

mm. I must be doing something wrong.
This line item isn't doing anything right now.

One change to the form block would fix the sender email problem.

If there was a tick box that said something like 'Set field as from email address'.

I would love it if someone could make this change - I would but my coding knowledge ends at html/css! :(

Setting the reply-to address might be a better option than setting the from address*. If you are using the sendmail option, many sites don't allow you to specify a from address, which is just as well. You don't want someone hacking in and pumping out spam from some made-up address. If all of the messages come from your address, it won't take long to find the problem. :-)

If you use the SMTP option, setting the from address should usually work, but, again, some sites check that the from address is valid for the local network and won't accept a message internally that claims to be from someone@yahoo.com, for example.

Specifying the reply-to address avoids some of that hassle. The receiver is alerted that the message came from the website rather than directly from the person who submitted it, and replies go to the intended recipient.



*For the purposes of this discussion, no distinction is made between the envelope sender address and the inside "From:" address, since the Concrete5 mail helper currently treats them as the same (mostly because Zend tends to treat them the same).

i cudnt find a way in the current mail helper toadd a reply to address. i had to make a copy of the mail helper and hack in a way to add the reply to address.

one problem though.. the email gets sent to both the 'to' and the 'reply-to' address.. is that normal?

the solution listed above does not work.

define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL ','no-reply@seffrc.com');

and adding that line to site.php in the config folder (obviously with a sensible email address in)

Doesn't work.

Is there a way to add the reply address to the form or another way to add who sent it to the form? I have some bizarre financial software blocking any form that does not have who sent it on the form.

Even if the thread is older, I'm posting my two cents because the solution mentioned above works. There was just one whitespace to much after FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL. Just replace the email dummy with your email, put into config.php and you're fine:

define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL', 'email@whateverdomain.com');

this works for me too
