No, really, they do.

Let's say you did do it like that. You have two choices, putting in the return email as the forum's or putting in the return email as the user's.

The latter is an interesting privacy issue, and will almost certainly fail because the sending address will have the user's email domain attached. Let's say your forum is forum.com and their email is at email.com. When that email arrives at the destination, most hosts are now looking at the return address. They see it says email.com, so they look up where email.com goes to. Since where email.com resolves to a different place to forum.com, it tends to get discarded as spam.

Alternatively, if you go with the former, with different names for each address, some hosts will notice that you're using the same address with multiple names, and flag THAT.

But hey, what do I know?

sorry but perhaps i didn't emphasize this enough: It's a LAN environment, no external users involved. All mails are sent to local intranet users. So spam is NOT an issue.

Thanks and still look forward to some hack for Subs-Post.php if that's the correct file to be edited.

Check out the content of Themes\default\languages\EmailTemplates.english.php

There are several templates for notifications here, starting at line 689. You need to change the parameters in:


--- Code: --- 'subject' => 'Topic reply: {TOPICSUBJECT}',
'body' => 'A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by {POSTERNAME}.
--- End code ---

to something like:


--- Code: --- 'subject' => 'There has been a reply from: {POSTERNAME} on {TOPICSUBJECT} ',
'body' => 'A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by {POSTERNAME}.
--- End code ---

Change the body text to suit as well. Change it for the other templates too. And if you have other languages repeat the process for them as well.

Don't forget to backup the template BEFORE you edit it and then take a copy as any future upgrades will erase the changes you make.

Good luck.

Hi Chas, thanks for the reply. However i found no such file in my langauges directory, only Post.english.php with


--- Quote ---// Use numeric entities in the below sixteen strings.
$txt['notification_reply_subject'] = 'Topic reply: %s';
$txt['notification_reply'] = 'A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by %s.' . "\n\n" . 'View the reply at: ';

--- End quote ---

i believe that you're refering to 2.x.x ....

thanks again.

Regards,
Adam
