Right. The logic in the program and the documentation disagreed. The program uses the "Use Email From" address always if it's there, while the documentation gives preference to the user's email address. I change that in the program so that it agrees with the documentation. The modification is in SVN revision 1789 and will be contained in the upcoming next release.


Actually I had to change it once more. Some installations do want to have always a pre-defined email address, such as this forum, which uses noreply@psi.ch. So I added a new option Default Email From. The precedence is now in decreasing order

  • Use Email from
  • user's email address
  • Default Email from

So only when a user is not logged in, the Default Email from setting is used if present.
