changing "from" field on receiving email

[AndyF]

When I receive a notification that someone has signed my guestbook, it arrives as from "CGI-Mailer". As I have brought two licences for two different guestbooks, I would rather the from field said something along the lines of "from website A" or "from website B"

Is there a field I can adjust to make this possible ?

You would have to edit the gbook.php file a bit. Nothing too scary though, just open gbook.php in Notepad and use "Find" to find this exact code:

Code: Select all

,"Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']

Replace it with:

Code: Select all

,"From: $settings[website_title] <$settings[admin_email]>\nReply-to: $settings[admin_email]\nReturn-path: $settings[admin_email]\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']

You need to do that TWICE in the gbook.php file!

Then (unless your host is overwriting "From" header) it should say "From: Website title <you@yourmail.com>"

That works lovely - many thanks for your help
