Redmine Mail From plugin

This plugin adds user name and/or mail address to the "From:" header field of the notification mail.

This plugin works with Redmine 3.0.0 or later.

Installation

1. Clone or copy files into the Redmine plugins directory
2. Restart Redmine

Usage

Add %f, %l, %m and/or %u to the "Emission email address" field under the "Email notifications" tab in Redmine settings.

When a notification is sent, %f, %l, %m and %u are replaced with:

• %f - First name
• %l - Last name
• %m - Mail address
• %u - Login name

Multiple emission mail addresses can be specified. The plugin tries to replace placeholders in the first one. If fails, it tries the next one.

Exmaple

If Axl Rose ([email protected]) operates Redmine, the notification is sent with From: Axl Rose via Redmine <[email protected]>.

The reminder or the notification by anonymous is sent with From: Redmine <[email protected]>.

Notes

• %m is replaced with empty if the user preference "Hide my email address" is enabled.
• %f, %m and %u are replaced with empty if the user is anonymous.
• "List-Id" header field is replaced with <project-id.host-name>.
• Adjust the setting according to your environment. In several cases, SMTP server may not allow the "From:" and "List-Id" header fields generated by this plugin.
• If first/last name contains special characters (e.g. parentheses) which is not allowed for mail display name, use double quotations as follows:

"%f %l via Redmine" <%m>
