Change From Address for Newsletter

[djdavedawson]

Hi, I need to change the email address my news letter comes from. All my store emails come from [email protected] but the newsletter we want to come from [email protected]. I found this in the newsletter module here around line 102:

zen_mail($audience->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $audience->fields['customers_lastname'], $audience->fields['customers_email_address'], $this->title, $this->content, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'newsletters');

and changed to this:

$newsemail = '[email protected]';

zen_mail($audience->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $audience->fields['customers_lastname'], $audience->fields['customers_email_address'], $this->title, $this->content, STORE_NAME, $newsemail, $html_msg, 'newsletters');


essentially changing the EMAIL_FROM to $newsemail or '[email protected]'

but it still sends from [email protected]

How can I make this method work?

Thanks in Advance

If your Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Send from known domain is set to true, then the EMAIL_FROM will be used regardless. Some servers require that be set to True or emails won't send at all since it looks like emails are being spoofed/impersonated.

Ok, that worked I changed known email to no and then used the change I specified in my last post. I just need to set the reply address to the same, it is currently defaulting to the EMAIL_FROM address.

Not sure where to assign this in here:

zen_mail($audience->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $audience->fields['customers_lastname'], $audience->fields['customers_email_address'], $this->title, $this->content, STORE_NAME, $newsemail, $html_msg, 'newsletters');

Thanks Again

Where can I specify a different:

'Reply-To: [email protected]'

using

zen_mail()

for a the newsletter.

Thanks

So i've been doing a bit of digging on where I can specify a different reply to address fo the newsletter and I feel like i traced it to here in 'functions email" :

// set the reply-to address. If none set yet, then use Store's default email name/address.
// If sending from contact-us or tell-a-friend page, use the supplied info
$email_reply_to_address = ($email_reply_to_address) ? $email_reply_to_address : (in_array($module, array('contact_us', 'tell_a_friend')) ? $from_email_address : EMAIL_FROM);
$email_reply_to_name = ($email_reply_to_name) ? $email_reply_to_name : (in_array($module, array('contact_us', 'tell_a_friend')) ? $from_email_name : STORE_NAME);
$mail->AddReplyTo($email_reply_to_address, $email_reply_to_name);

This says if none is set, use the default, which it is doing, but how do i set it. Looking at the function, it's not clear, at least to me, where that would be:

zen_mail($to_name, $to_address, $email_subject, $email_text, $from_email_name, $from_email_address, $block=array(), $module='default', $attachments_list='' )

Please Help TIA

I added 'newsletters' to this ..array('contact_us', 'tell_a_friend', 'newsletters') .. in functions email :


$email_reply_to_address = ($email_reply_to_address) ? $email_reply_to_address : (in_array($module, array('contact_us', 'tell_a_friend', 'newsletters')) ? $from_email_address : EMAIL_FROM);

$email_reply_to_name = ($email_reply_to_name) ? $email_reply_to_name : (in_array($module, array('contact_us', 'tell_a_friend', 'newsletters')) ? $from_email_name : STORE_NAME);

I'm assuming it works because i've already done what I specified in the previous posts.

Thanks

there is the Problem described.
No solution jet.

I started to solve the Problem with changing the senders email adress to customers email Adress.

I need the Mail Send from the email adress of the Customer, because the Customer orders things, and i reply with my Email-System to the Customer.

[shisha]

to change the senders email to customers email it tried to changes in

includes/functions/functions_email.php

$email_reply_to_address = ($email_reply_to_address) ? $email_reply_to_address : (in_array($module, array('contact_us',  'tell_a_friend')) ? $from_email_address : EMAIL_FROM);
$email_reply_to_name    = ($email_reply_to_name)    ? $email_reply_to_name    : (in_array($module, array('contact_us',  'tell_a_friend')) ? $from_email_name    : STORE_NAME);

and in includes/classes/orders.php row 1023

zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_NEW_ORDERS_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . EMAIL_ORDER_NUMBER_SUBJECT . $zf_insert_id,
      $email_order . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'checkout_extra', $this->attachArray);
    }

the copy of the email comes, because of the EMAIL_FROM , always from the Shops email. Not from the customers email.

Until now, nobody including me , was able to change that.
