Impending campaign expiration "From" email issue

[scott001]

Since I upgraded to v3.4.0 the system email "Impending campaign expiration" is now sending from my server name domain, and from "s". For example:

From: "s" <[email protected]>

I've checked the config file and do not see anything that could cause this, and have no idea where the "s" is coming from. The email should be from "[email protected]"

Possibly this is coming from your PHP configuration? https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Email

I'm not sure how...every other email sent from my adserver system is normal, and follows the settings in the configuration file. The only email that has this issue is the impending ad expiration notice. I suspect there is a bug.

PS - I am using sendmail and not php to send the emails.

Hi @scott001,

Sure, a bug is always a possibility! If you can reproduce, can you please set up a bug report in GitHub with the steps for us to reproduce?

Thanks.

The only way to reproduce is to view the email that is sent out when a campaign is expiring. In my case the email from address is now malformed...not sure why, but it started after a recent upgrade. Again, all other system emails seem fine.

I'm having the same issue and have had the same issue for a long time.

The from header is being set as "n" <[email protected]> where hostname is the machine name. The quotes appear to be part of the name too, according to my inspection of the headers in our Mailgun account:

"from": "\"n\" <[email protected]>"

The "Email 'From' Email Address" in the settings is set to [email protected] and a different domain. Doesn't seem to be getting picked up.

The From name and company were blank, I've tried completing those to see if it makes any difference but am unsure how to trigger a test email. Log all outgoing email messages is ticked, but I can't see where they are being logged to.
