WireMail: how to send -f $from_address in PHP mail()

[DrQuincy]

I have never come across with before — especially odd as I use this hosting company for scores of ProcessWire sites but I am having issues with email sending. I am just using normal WireMail() and this works in about 95% of my sites so I don't need to set up a separate SMTP account.

The hosting company is claiming in this instance is it because the PW module is not setting the -f $from_address in PHP mail()'s $additional_params paramater.

(I am using LoginRegisterPro and the email in question is the confirmation one. I guess this is irrelevant since LRP will use whatever mail module PW is set to use.)

Anyway, can I set the -f flag in mail() without hacking the PW core code?

Thanks.

Ah, I've found the answer to my question already. See phpMailAdditionalParameters on here: https://processwire.com/api/ref/config/

I assume this will do it in config.php:

$config->phpMailAdditionalParameters = '-f bounce@example.com';

Strange I know, but you will want to remove the space after -f for this to work

Thanks for pointing that out! You're right, it looks odd — but it's right.
