[Mail] More and more SMTP hassle

[TStarGermany]

*posted there*

(besides that: I'm not sure it's "the way it works" ... trying to send an email by [email protected] from the mail server yyy.com could be interpreted as an attempted abuse (which the error obviously points to), so it would rather be a fix than anything else.)

Yes, that's true. The way it currently works emails can be considered as spam, and I agree with the suggestion. Still, this is the way it was originally designed, and it's not technically a bug.

Ok, I have a temporary workaround, taking THIS into consideration
(tonight, I've sent a massmail to all my users and got this error several times in the mail log. Luckily the <frombbname> isn't crucial to the fix.)

			$this->headers .= "Reply-To: \"User ({$this->utf8_encode($mybb->settings['bbname'])})\" <{$this->return_email}>{$this->delimiter}";
		}
		elseif($mybb->settings['returnemail'])
		{
			$this->headers .= "Return-Path: {$mybb->settings['returnemail']}{$this->delimiter}";
			$this->headers .= "Reply-To: \"Email from {$this->utf8_encode($mybb->settings['bbname'])}\" <{$mybb->settings['adminemail']}>{$this->delimiter}";

			$this->headers .= "Reply-To: \"Email from {$this->utf8_encode($mybb->settings['bbname'])}\" <{$mybb->settings['adminemail']}>{$this->delimiter}";
		}

Because of the other related error (see link at the top), the mybbname wasn't inserted as the NAME for the FROM email adress, but that's ok i guess.

Btw: The extra "RETURN-PATH" arguments are largely ignored by the server and instead taken from the FROM values < Just to mention it.
