Summary0001333: Request to be able to modify from the GUI, the sending email address
DescriptionMy corporate email blocks emails that contain the word root. I would be great to be able to have the option via the GUI to customize the sending email address. I've done this manually via the util.pm, but this gets overwritten every upgrade.

Have you tried modifying the configuration parameter alerting.emailaddr? I'm pretty sure that's what you are looking for.

alerting.emailaddr is for who the email is sent to, correct? I want to be able to modify the email address that these alerts are sent from via the GUI.

Currently in the util.pm it is set for something like this if I recall correctly 'root@' . $fqdn

I'd like to be able to update that via the GUI to something like pfalert@pf.test.com as the sending email address and have that carry across via updates.

Thanks,

I meant alerting.fromaddr.. And now I realize that this parameter is not documented...

but the code should do the right thing:

my $from = $Config{'alerting'}{'fromaddr'} || 'root@' . $fqdn;

Turns out that it was documented but not visible from the Web Admin because it didn't have a default value in pf.conf.default. I provided a default value (empty) and documented that empty means root@<domain-name>.
