Emails with blank FROM field

Hi all,

I have a feeling I'm missing something really basic here but I can't find it for the life of me.

All emails dispatched via my Dolphin 7 website are arriving at the recipeint's email address with absolutely nothing in the FROM field.

That field is blank.

Can someone please give me a hint on where I can setup this information. When people get an email from absolutely no-one they get a tad suspicious.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Cheers.

I'm experiencing the same problem...very similar to a problem I had with v6.1.x regarding formatting of emails.  It had to do wih the script using \r\n instead of just \n.

If I can find the script where emails are actually sent then I will see if that is the problem.

Found a solution... at least for me... for some reason my server has never liked Boonex's use of "\r\n" combination in mail header construction.

To fix blank From: problem just edit the inc/utils.inc.php file and look for "MIME"  when  you find that you will see the \r\n in the string.  Just delete the \r from the \r\n so it is just \n.  There are 3 occurrences of this total... make sure you delete all 3 references to \r.

Worked like a charm on my system.

Thanx Alex,  we had this same issue in 6.1.x  ... don't know why those "\r"'s get in there everytime....

Just a quick note for anyone referring to this thread in the future. The upgrade patch from 7.0 to 7.01 does undo the changes referred to here. The problem did return for me. Re-applying the fix offered by ZopWare fixed it once again :)

Cheers.
