let her call her alice; everytime she receives a notification from our discourse instance, the mail message says From: bob, no matter who actually wrote the post
alice and bob both have admin rights
how should I go about pinpointing my misconfiguration ?
Check your setting notification_email and your app.yml
Normally this would be something like noreply@yourdomain.com (unless you’ve set up reply by email)
Is there any chance she has created a contact in her mail account associating that email address with bob?
Yes, that was it, the noreply email address had somehow been associated to bob in her contacts - THANKS !!
