Description Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-08-21 09:37:05 UTC
Emails that originate from the Wiki as a result of notifications for pages a user is subscribed to, are currently in the form:

From: devnull@FreeBSD.org
Subject: [FreeBSD Wiki]

MoinMoin provides for modification of email settings [1] which can be used to improve the visual identification of emails from the wiki. It also allows MUA's to hide email addresses in favour of the "Friendly From" depending on user settings.

This is a request to modify the following email settings and their values in "wikiconfig.py"

mail_from = u'FreeBSD Wiki <devnull@example.com>'

I couldn't find the setting responsible for the Subject: formatting, but it is currently already set to have a [FreeBSD Wiki] prefix, which should be removed or, potentially be replaced with "Notification: "

The intended result is

From: FreeBSD Wiki <devnull@FreeBSD.org>
Subject: Notification: Update of "Rust" by ThomasZander
