Hello everyone,

Customer invoices are being send with the wrong from how do you set it. I have tried in the setup/mail tab no fix.

Example : the from line my customers see is wases@bluehostbox222.com I want it to be set to sales@mydomain.com

Any suggestion?

Do you mean that outgoing mail is sent from a wrong address? You should check Admin->Settings email address.

I did set admin->email but when customers get the invoice from my website the from is set to something@hostingcompany.com not sales@mywebsite.com

Have you checked from database table setting that what's the key config_email's value?

Sorry taking so long to reply I have checked the database entries. I am in the process to working with bluehost on this, plus looking at the code. Any ideas would be welcomed.

So I guess that you are using php mail? The sender address comes from php mail settings. One way would be to define the sender address in mail.php's mail command with parameter -f. Another way is to use smtp with specified smtp account so you create a new email account and give account details to Opencart's mail setup.

I've seen a topic here where this is discussed and with a fix to have a From address that is valid.
I'm not sure if it will help you in this case.

That is want I am talking about. The customers emailed invoices have the wrong from address I am in the process of upgrading from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0

Any help would be great.

Well, you could have used our search with: email + from

Then you would have found: Email Problems.

So, next time put in some more effort yourself

You, sir, are a legend. I don't know how the hell this could have gotten messed up but I went into the database, settings > config_email and the value was a different email address. I changed it and everything is just smashing now.

An hour or so of looking and to think I end up finding a solution from this long ago.
