Customize mail FROM name for APPS like Outline
-
Desired Outcome
Alter the from name for emails sent by Outline to "Company Wiki" instead of "Outline"
Why
Make it easier for teammates to know where this is coming from; customize
How
Seeing there is a Sendmail add-on which looks like it's a way to override the global email settings on a per-app basis but having trouble getting it to work? ... https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sendmail
I am using Gmail as Cloudron's global email relay across all apps and I also want to use this same account for Outline but I just want to alter the from name .... I have been using something like below where the password is the app password and this all works well when entered into Cloudron's GUI entry system but when I use Sendmail, failure! I guess optimally I'd love to just be able to set "CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME" and just have this one environment var override global setting so I could change this one to "Team Wiki" or something but also fine if i need to define all of them for SENDMAIL to work.
CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com # the mail server (relay) that apps can use. this can be an IP or DNS name CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT=465 # the mail server port. Currently, this port disables TLS and STARTTLS. CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTPS_PORT=587 # SMTPS server port. CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME=me@gmail.com CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD=aaaa bbbb ccccc dddd CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM=me@gmail.com # the "From" address to use CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME= MyCompany # the email Display name to use for the "From" address CLOUDRON_MAIL_DOMAIN=me@gmail.com # the domain name to use for email sending (i.e username@domain)
Thank you!
For this great tool!!

I am using SMTP with a free gmail like mycompany@gmail.com. When I visit that email setting page all I see is the domain for the server I am hosting on but I would like to keep using Gmail but just change the default from name for Gmail on a per app basis so I can have something like Passwords myorg@gmail.com and Wiki <myorg@gmail.com) ... loving Cloudron the more I get to learn about it!

@girish Ahhh ... I think because the settings section didn't populate with Gmail.com after I established this as the outbound, I figured this panel was inactive and overiden by my new outbound settings.
I now see that this panel will still set the from name and reply to address while the sending address will come from outbound.
It might still be nice if the gmail our newly-established outbound address populated in this panel once established and then users could also use this as a reply-to address? Or even better - an ability to set any chosen reply to address not tied to this server like I might just want to put "myname@maincompany.com" as my reply to instead of the server domain ... I guess a work around is to create a forwarding address but that's additional work.
Just a thought. Great work, again.
