Email settings - Set mail 'name'

MarkBaker

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to set the From Name on outbound emails to something other than the forum name?

The nature of my community is not normal and has profanity in the domain and the name of the forum.

It would be nice to have the ability to set this so I can avoid the outbound SMTP spam checker on my host server flagging the word fu***ng

I published a solution to this using extend.php in the past, unfortunately the solution will no longer work in Flarum 1.x https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24887-subject-and-sender-in-notifications/4

But the logic is still the same. You would have to create a service provider and call

        $this->container->afterResolving('mailer', function ($mailer) {
            $settings = $this->container->make(\Flarum\Settings\SettingsRepositoryInterface::class);
            $mailer->alwaysFrom($settings->get('mail_from'), $settings->get('forum_title'));
        });

And then register that service provider in the root extend.php with the Extend\ServiceProvider extender.
