How to edit the From value when an email

Hello Guys!

I just noticed that when sending an email from the website (e.g using the Mass mailer, member receiving profile activation email from the site etc) the value of From: field is always the name of the website. I have an extremely long title for the website and I don't want to show it to my member's email From field. I would like to shorten it such that what they see from the From field of their email is just "From the Admin"

How do I do that?
Thanks,
Sam

Are you using the SMTP Mailer module?

If so there are over-write rules that should allow you to do so...

find the php file and code that creates the site name for your email and use php code that let output number of characters of string value.

something like this : ($Site_name_email_string, 10)

there is a php function for that to use.

I hope this helps you on your way :-)

If you enable SMTPS Mailer module, then you can override email address and name to send mail from in SMTP mailer module settings.
