How did you get determine the filepath? When i do a search for “user\_notifications” it shows files in `/var/lib/docker/overlay2/<somelongrandom alphanumber>/diff/var/www/discourse/app/mailers/user_notifications.rb`

I have about 5 results like that and I don’t know which one to use. Any ideas?

This makes me feel 🤮

Doing this properly - adding a site setting called something like `from_alias_prefix` - would take me tops 2 hours (maybe 3 if it had to be a plugin). I’m not looking for the work (unless you paid me something bananas to work at the weekend), but you might want to consider posting on #Marketplace.

This changes the `From` header of emails from “Jane Doe” to “Jane Doe via \<site\_name\>”. For Meta it will look like “Jane Doe via Discourse Meta”.

It uses the value of the `email site title` site setting or, if it isn’t set, the `title` setting as `<site_name>`.  
The format of the `From` header can be customized with the `email_from` site text.
