I just discovered that, Office365 let’s you send messages only, if it is your own domain.
If another institute is organizing a meeting, they can’t use their mail for sending messages to these members.
As a wish I think it would be nice, if everybody within indico could send the message from a fixed internal address but within the message add “reply-to” and that is then the mail address from the user.
So summarized:
From: indico@
reply-to: @ (or if it’s about a meeting, let them choose from which managers mail address)
That would avoid problems with exchange online (Office365).
If someone is putting a contact email within the settings of the meeting, this email address is used in the from field if someone does register at a meeting.
This from address will only be overwritten, if there is another information in the “Notification sender address” field within the registration form.
Is it possible to only put a email address in the from field, if there is a value in the “Notification sender address” otherwise use the standard mail address and never using the contact address?
So summarize my wish:
from email address standard should be noreply@domain.com. Overwrite this address only, if there is a value in "Notification sender address"
For the from field the contact address from the meeting settings should not be validated.
These mails are not sent through our mail servers.
I would need the setting, that our whole indico instance is sending from one mail address (no-reply@), an additionally field reply-to could contain the senders address.
As pferreir pointed already out: “It would be great if this were configurable”
As guess more and more institutes are using SPF (and DKIM).
I think one of the best solution is still, that indico is always sending from the same “From” address and if you choose a user, he should appear in an “reply-to” field.
We got one further problem when it is about invitations to meetings and the user is not one within our domain.
