I don't know if I put the title the best way, please change if you know a better title.

What I mean is that when an admin or a reseller creates a useraccount, the user will be send an email from diradmin@hostname with his account credentials.

However, since the hostname is used, admin is obligated to put the hostname in the DNS so receiver mailservers won't refuse these mails.
That should not be necessary.

A better way is when a reseller creates an account that the mail would be send from the resellers accountname or [email protected].

Same for admin. So not using @hostname.
I don't know if this is possible to make, but I think this would make a nice feature.
 
@Zeiter: Sorry, I posted this before I read your answer in my other thread.
The requests you point to look indeed reasonable similar.

@Isos6: It's this way. A friend of mine has a dedicated server and a hosting company, but does have little understanding of servers and linux.
I also have a hosting company and are working as a hosting reseller on his server. Next to that I do all security and maintenance on the server. So that's the reason I can get everywhere on the server I want, because I have both admin and root access.
 
I've tested this today and it works as it should. And I've responded in another thread.

Please do not keep creating multiple posts on the same subject; all it does is upsets the people who can help you.

Thanks.

Sorry but I hadn't seen the other post, mostly because they did not exactly include what I'm stating here.
And the ones which I found, did not state the solution, but I will reply also in the other thread to keep this one clean.

Just for information. It is working as it should sending mail from the diradmin user, and my feature request is that this should be changed (see my other thread).

So my feature request was correct and is different from the others mentioned here.

My request is to let DA use the resellers email adres when doing directadmin actions f.e. creating accounts, or make an option that the reseller can choose which email addres to use. Also use resellers domain name and not the hostname.

This must be possible to make as the reseller has to login to DA, so account credentials are known.
Hopefully this request will be implemented.
 
I've just posted again in the other thread. Here's a copy of what I wrote:

As I wrote previously; this works for me; it sends email from the email address set up as the reseller email's address. For emails sent by the admin account, change the address in the admin login's reseller level.

Problem reproduced by severa Dutch collegues. It does not work that way.
Maybe your servers is one of the exceptions.

From address will change, but not in the headers (see other topic) so mail will be rejected (unless hostname is in DNS but that is not the request). Problem reproduced by several Dutch hosters.
