SMTP Notifications - Allow the Sender or From Name to be included/configured

[cyberteer]

My suggestion appears to have been requested a couple times already using differing terms/references:

 

 

 

As suggested by the last requestor, this is a relatively easy modification -- that could be fulfilled by simply allowing the "from" or "sender" name to be included in the existing field "Sending email address" under the SMTP Settings for Notification Settings.

 

The specification is one of the following:

 

Sender Name <[email protected]>

"Sender Name" <[email protected]>

"Sender Name <[email protected]>"

 

Alternatively, a "new" field could be added under the SMTP Settings for Notifications Settings titled "Sending display name" keeping it consistent with current GUI terminology used in Unraid.

 

Either way I think this feature is long overdue.

+1 for this! This feature exist in most other services that uses smtp email solutions. I have one gmail account that I only use for notifications from my servers and services. Yes, we have the subject prefix, but it is so much better to alter the sender name (author). 

Thanks!
