https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22821 Bug ID: 22821 Summary: Patron notes about item email notification fallback order is incorrect Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- In bug 19496 a fallback order for the email addresses (both to and from) was added. This fallback order appears to be incorrect per my understanding of the system preferences.
my $to_address = $branch->branchemail || $branch->branchreplyto || C4::Context->ReplytoDefault || C4::Context->preference('KohaAdminEmailAddress');
My understanding is that branchemail is used for the 'from' address in emails from the branch, however it may not be an address which is accessible by the librarians (as to be allowed through spam filters for most popular email service the 'from' address domain has to match the domain of the sender server).. as such 'reply-to' address was added to allow for a library to send 'from' a proper domain but have 'replies' go to an email address they control.
my $from_address = $patron->email || $patron->emailpro || $patron->B_email;
We cannot spoof send emails from the patrons email address for the same reasons as outlined above. The email must come from the koha system but may happily contain the above fallback in the reply-to header to achieve what I believe is wanted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
