Set a specific e-mail From address

How do I set the default "from" email address?

Use a specific "From" address for email sent by Form Folder (PloneFormGen) instead of the default webmaster@louisville.edu

Form folder replyto defaults

One stock field is called replyto and contains a valid email address. I want this address to be in the From: line - not just in Reply-To:. So I could fill in a TALES expression to overwrite the default sender-address. But what's the correct TALES expression for that?

By default, PloneFormGen's mailer sends mail with a default "From" address set (no-reply@ louisville.edu or webmaster@ louisville.edu). But, you may wish to use another.

Use the reply to e-mail address field

To use the address filled-in for the "replyto" email address field, edit the mailer adapter, and in the overrides sub-form, set the Sender Expression to:

        request/form/replyto

Set a specific E-mail From address

You could also specify a literal or a specific 'From" address:

        string:test@mysite.org

Be cautious about using user-submitted addresses for the "From" address. It's important that the "From" address be a real one, owned by a responsible person. For example, you may want to use a custom validator to ensure the person uses a louisville.edu email address.
