    Default FROM address for order confirmation email

    I am in the process of testing my new zencart setup. When I place an order, I get a automatic confirmation email as expected, but I can't seem to control the email address that shows as the "FROM" address. I've tried various combinations of email addresses and settings in Configuration/Email options, but regardless of what I put there, it always shows as coming from the same email address. Is there a way to change this?

    What settings do you have in email options?

    Default Re: FROM address for order confirmation email

    I would like the person who placed the order to see that the email is coming from the store name or "orders@harmonysportsandgifts" or something like that. It's currently coming from maureen@harmonybaskets but the worst part is that it actually shows Maureen's full first and last name in the "from" address. I have changed various email settings and no matter what I do, it still comes out the same. (Sorry - I am a newbie here)

    I changed them all to orders@harmonysportsandgifts just to make sure and the order confirmation still came from [email protected]. I have no idea where zencart is getting this email address.

    In your hosting account check for forwarders etc

    Last resort use developers tool fit under you admin > tools and search for instances of "Maureen"

    No forwarders or anything in our mail account. I did a search for Maureen and found nothing. I've opened a ticket with justhost regarding the email settings. It almost has to be coming from that side. If you have any other ideas, let me know. Thanks

    Default Re: FROM address for order confirmation email

    I spoke to my mail host. They had me change the mail transport method from smtp to smtpauth. It sort of worked. I got an email from harmonysportsandgifts.com which is what I wanted. However I ALSO got an email from [email protected]. One says "order confirmation" which is the one I like and the other says "customer receipt/purchase confirmation" which I would like to turn off. Any idea why I (i.e., the customer) am now getting two emails?
