(optional) If defined, replaces the From: in email messages
going out to the mailing list. Normally, the From: is the email address and
name of the author of the message. However, in some cases you may want to
obscure the author of the message, and replace it with something else. For
instance, if several people in the sales department of your organization can
contribute announcements, you may want the From: to say
sales@your-company…rather than the email address of the actual author. This
helps protect the identity of the true message author.
Note: this field must be a
valid email address. If you do not specify a valid email address for this
field, you will likely have problems when you try to mail. Some sites will
refuse your mail, while others will show strange information in the From: field
on the messages they receive.
Examples of valid values for this
field include:
bob@somewhere.com
Bob Smith <bob@somewhere.com>
bob@somewhere.com (Bob Smith)
Your entry must be in one of these three formats.
