By sending a mail to another user MyBB creates wrong Mail address.
MyBB creates: <username <[email protected]>>
but must be: [email protected]

How can I change it?

Here the error message:
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 Die Adresse des Absenders <username <[email protected]>> ist in KEN! nicht bekannt oder fehlerhaft. in C:\Programme\xampp\htdocs\portal\forum\inc\functions.php on line 210

You have to change it in the files.
