We are using moodle 1.4.5 and there seem to be some problem with force subscription and email post
When an instructor posts a new post on a course with all user with "force subscription" email doest not reach all the users everytime.
Some time it get lost.
I am still working on trying to figure out whether the problem is related to moodle, or smtp on our server, or our school mail server.
Befor doing more testing I wanted to check with moodle community if this is a known issue with moodle 1.4.5 or it is happening only with our moodle?
Thank you in advance.

Jaju,
Here are the steps to have forum posts always come from your chosen email address:
1. Go to: Admin>>Configuration>>Modules and click on Forum settings. Set forum_replytouser to No.
2. Go to: Admin>>Configuration>>Variables and enter the address you would like to use in noreplyaddress:
As for the original problem posted here, does this problem still occur using the latest 1.5+ version of Moodle?

Hi Chardelle,
I have tried that setup with the latest Moodle 1.52+.
It works for the matter that it gets people to reply in to the forum, but will not help against e-mail bouncing.
The bouncing e-mails are still hitting your admin e-mailadress which has to be a noreply one and that would not be practical or has any one found a good solution for this too???
Cheers,
Jens
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying Jens, but if this helps, my admin email address is one I set up specifically for those types of issues and is different than the noreply forums address which I have set up to be: forums@mysite.com. This address has an autoresponder that says something like, You have sent an email to a non-working address. You may have tried to reply to a discussion post using the Reply tool in your email program. Please reply to the discussion posts using the reply link in the post.....
Hi Chardelle,
Thanks for the advice,
I will try that work arround. The strange part is that all my forum posts are mailed with the forum@mydomain.com - but the bouncing e-mails are still sent to my admin@mydomain.com so the solution I guess is that we must change the variable in the database of the e-mail adress and is set it to forum@mydomain.com.
That means we must find the e-mail variable related with the Return-path is set in the following file (part of the PHPMailer application):
/www/www/moodle/lib/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php
The lines that configure the Return-path header ate the following:
if($this->Sender == "")
$result .= $this->HeaderLine("Return-Path", trim($this->From));
else
$result .= $this->HeaderLine("Return-Path", trim($this->Sender));

Chardelle, thanks for describing your noreply forums address autoresponder message. 
Jens, you may find Penny's post regarding bounce handling in the discussion Bad email addresses make site slow? helpful.

Helen + Chardelle,
Thanks for your reference to Penny's post. Unfortunately e-mail piping is not allowed on that specific server. But I have now implemented Chardelles solution and hopefully it will take off some steam. Thank you again Chardelle.

Hi all
I´m having this problem (described as follows): [1] new users ask for <New
account>; [2] to accomplish the stuff, the new user informs a valid e-mail
and, [3] the new user receives an automatic Moodle e-mail that asks for
him/her to click in a link that will send him/her to a validation site Well,
here remains my problem: this validation process is not working, because the
new user is sent to the default page of my Moodle site! As a result, the new
user neither gains access, nor I can register him/her in the site.
Notes:
[a] the automatic e-mail I receive also seems to have missed its configuration
(like letters and accents typed wrong).
[b] Please, I´m in Brazil, where the classes will soon begin and, as I´m a
neophyte (begginer one) in Moodle, I need to run it as soon as possible.
Thaks in advance
Regards
