Email via forum script issue

[Internet-Earners.com]

I use the SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 version, a member has emailed at least two other members I presume from the email header I have from one of the messages, that they emailed via the forum script.

In the email sent my email was attached after the senders in brackets <> in the "From" field. When they clicked reply in the email it came back to me, hence how I found out about this. I have no idea if the original sender also received a reply.

Is it a security issue and can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks in advance for any help/info you can offer

I'm sorry, I don't understand you, members get extra <> characters or what?

My email address was included in the "From" field in the recipients email between brackets <>;

From:    "[email protected]" <[email protected]>

But I think I have solved it, I have removed my email from the server email address in the admin section, it is now blank, and sent a message to me via the email icon under my user name from the test account and it did not appear, and at no point did it open google, I also never saw the email adress as a member shouldn't.

I was concerened that when I tried to emulate the email it displayed the recipients email adress when it automatically opened google and attempted to send the mail via google instead of the forum script.

But removing my email from the server section in the forum admin panel made the email go via the forum script instead of google. So I couldn't see the recipients email adress this time as the mail went through the forum script and not google.

The message they got is most likely a PM notification or reply to thread notification.  I'm sure in the body of the message it clearly states for them to not reply to this notification.

But they have and you, as the default web master e-mail, is the receiver.  Removing the webmaster e-mail might result in your host not sending your e-mails out or the receiving mail server classing your mail as spam.  So be mindful of this.
