E-Mail Issue With Xoops System mail

When I have a new user register I get the following notification:

=?iso-8859-1?B?YWRtaW5AY2xhbi1zay5vcmc=?=


How do I get it to drop the extra characters and just list admin@clan-sk.org ?

This is important because it look salmost like a spam message to the users getting it. Sometimes they do not click on the item.

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks

Re: E-Mail Issue With Xoops System mail

make sure that admin at yourdomain.com is an actual username on the server used, or at least an alias on the server.

I am currently configuring my e-mail on my server from scratch, with sendmail (learning a lot, but still a lot to learn) and got the same type of sender entry before I created a user to match the name.

HTH.

I noticed that feature too...

I found the iso-8859-1 encoding tag went away when I updated class.phpmailer.php from v1.65 to v1.73. I also updated class.smtp.php while I was at it.

I found both of those files located in /{xoops_home}/class/mail/phpmailer/ in xoops 2.0.13.1.

Dunno if that'll work for you, but it did the trick for me.

::edit::

Although, admittedly - making such a replacement may break some other things...

I think that since no encoding in the From: e-mail header is typical for English language e-mail programs like Pegasus Mail and others, it seems to me that in the case of selecting the English language for xoops, it would be preferable to have no iso-8859-1 encoding in the From: header as well...
