from field in mail is missing although configured

[lava]

Configuration:

config.mail_envelope_from = "lqfbsupport@domain.com"
config.mail_from = "LiquidFeedback"
config.mail_reply_to = "lqfbsupport@domain.com"

Mails received:

From: LiquidFeedback <>
Reply-To: lqfbsupport@domain.com

config.mail_envelope_from gets lost somewhere?

The "Envelope From" is actually the "bounce address", which is passed to sendmail using the "-f" option. It is not part of the e-mail headers, even though some mail servers add it to the headers.

See  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_sender for more information about this topic.

The "From:" line of the headers is only set via the config.mail_from option. To include a name and an actual e-mail address in the "From:" line of the e-mail header, use the following setting:

config.mail_from = {
  name = "LiquidFeedback",
  address = "liquidfeedback@example.com"
}

This will be clarified in the example file of the next LiquidFeedback Frontend release:
