I don't see the need for the change. Email address #1 is the address of the person (or mailing list) responsible for the weblog and #2 is the email address to be used when sending comment notifications. These might be the addresses of two different people (or mailing lists), one assigned to manage the blog and one assigned to respond to emails re: comments.
The current logic, as far as I can tell, is that comment notification emails are sent from email address #2 unless it is blank in which case the comment notification is sent using the email address of the user who created the weblog entry being commented upon. Have you tested to confirm that setting the from field does not work? If it does not, perhaps we should be using a reply-to field instead. - Dave On Sat, Jun 28, 2014 at 8:45 PM, Glen Mazza <glen.ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Team, I'm working on ROL-2018, an email notification routing issue.
