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>.
