Continuing the discussion from [Mail does not go out after recent update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mail-does-not-go-out-after-recent-update/393621) … I experienced this issue yesterday before the fixes were released. I was coincidentally migrating my notification email to a new domain and setting it up while the emails were broken. It led to a very confusing couple of hours! On that note, I’ve spotted recently that emails no longer go out with the sender name that includes the site name. Where it used to say `User Via [Site]` it now just says `User` as the email sender name. Noticed this across more than one Discourse instance. Having done some reading it appears there was previously a site setting named `from_email` which allowed for specifying this, but it appears to have been removed. Is there any chance this is another bug related to these same changes perhaps? Or was there a new method for doing things / intentional design change I might have missed? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-from-headers-lost-their-via-sitename-text/393814)._
