#1532 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

wp_notify_postauthor() sends pingback/trackback e-mails from bad address

Description

wp_notify_postauthor() sends pingback and trackback notification e-mails from wordpress@$_SERVERSERVER_NAME?

The problem is that on some hosts, $_SERVERSERVER_NAME? is in the form of www.domain.com instead of just domain.com

These wordpress@… e-mails are getting deleted somewhere along the line as obviously bogus.

We need to check for leading www. and strip it out.

This doesn't really fix the core problem though, what should we send system generated mails out as from:? In other parts of the code we use admin email.

Email sent from wordpress@domain (with "www." stripped)

  • Keywords bg|has-patch bg|commit added; bg|2nd-opinion removed
  • Owner changed from graeme to markjaquith
  • Status changed from new to assigned

Final decision was that wordpress@domain is best, because admin email might be from off-domain and might be more likely to get flagged as spam at its destination.
