Dada Mail Mailing Lists: [dadadev] Change Reply-To email address

Hi

A while ago I enquired how to set the Reply-To field in the email header to something other than the default email address. I received a reply to that which indicated that in the config.pm file I should add the address in the 'Reply-To' entry (at around line 4364) in place of the undef value. I have done that.

In line 4049 (approx?) the entry "add_reply_to   => 1," appears - I am presuming that the digit 1 indicates that the field is to be included in the email header.

I have now had chance to test this out and I have to report that the Reply-To field still contains the default email address.

Is there some other place that this information is included as a variable - clearly the scripts are picking up the default address rather than the required address.

Failing that, where abouts in the scripts can I hard code the address so that the required address gets included rather than the default one?

As an aside, adjacent to the Reply-To information in the config.pm file ther is the return path field. Placing a value in here in place of the undef value results in the specified email address getting included.

This problem is becoming quite an issue because, even though a line is included in the mailings which says "don't click on the reply to button on the email programme", a not insignificant number of people are ignoring this.


Best regards

    this list's archives:


    This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -

    If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:

    http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards

    To post to this list, send a message to:

    dadadev@dadamailproject.com

    All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.

    Some on topic... topics include:

    • Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
    • Bug/Error reports
    • Bug fixes
    • Request For Comments on any changes to the program
    • Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
    • Patches
    • Language Translations
    • Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
    • Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -

    At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

    Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:

    http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/

    Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.

    Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.

    NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
