Email from real address

Hi!


I'm using Moodle 3.2.2 and want the email sent out from news forum to go from users real addresses. 

- In Administration > Server >Outgoing mail configuration, I've entered *.mydomain.se 

in allowedemaildomains. 

- I've also set Administration > User default preferences > defaultpreference_maildisplay to Allow everyone to see my email address. 


Still the noreply-address is in use. Thankful for your help.


Regards

Simon

Unless you have control over the domain that *all* your users are sending from (for example, they are all in the same - your - company) it probably won't work. They will just get blocked as spam or with relay errors. 

I've a feeling that the ability to send from the user's address was dropped a few versions ago (2.9?) but I can't find the info. I'll keep looking but maybe someone else knows.

It's still there!  The setting is 'Use email address in reply' in the forum settings. Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Forum.
