[ZendTo] Changing dropoff link in emails sent out

[Jules]

Matthew,

The "EmailSenderAddress" defined in /opt/zendto/zendto.conf will be used 
if it is set.
If it is not set in zendto.conf, it works it out from
     ServiceTitle <username at servername>
where
"ServiceTitle" is defined in zendto.conf,
username is the name of the user that is running the web server (usually 
httpd or apache),
servername is the name of the server as defined in the httpd.conf.

This will set the "From:" header in the message (what the recipient 
users will see in their email package),
but it will not affect the "enveloper sender" address that intermediate 
mail servers will see.

If you don't know the difference between the From: and the envelope 
sender address, I expect Wikipedia can help.

I did at one point add the "-f" option and its argument into the call to 
the PHP mail() function, but I took it out again as there were security 
concerns over it.

If you do need to set the envelope sender address as well, then I would 
probably advise setting the "sendmail_path" value in php.ini by adding
     -f from at mydomain.com
to the end of it, as mentioned by Kris Lou. It's described here:
http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pipermail/zendto/2012-November/001855.html

P.S. I'm currently working solidly on getting everything working with 
RHEL 7 and CentOS 7. All the firewall stuff, SELinux, the lot. 
Fortunately the PHP rebuild is a *lot* simpler on RHEL 7 than it was on 
RHEL 6. And CentOS 7 is even easier. The only bit I'm not looking 
forward to is working out how to make the RPM file work for both 6 and 
7. Not sure how to do that yet. All suggestions/pointers to examples are 
most welcome!
P.P.S. Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a vSphere any more, so 
may not be able to produce VM images.

Cheers,
Jules.
