Good morning Admins

Brand new issue with PM email notification where the sender's email address is shown as FROM address:

From: anjurasool@gmail.com
Sender: noreply@connect.symantec.com

To: Marianne van den Berg
Subject: New Symantec Connect private message: ORACLE DB PERFORMANCE ISSUE DURING BACKUP

Hi Marianne van den Berg,

This is an automatic reminder from the site Symantec Connect Community. You have received a new private message from Nayab.Rasool.

To read your message, follow this link:
.......

Now, I send about 4 PMs a day to users with a request to follow up on unresolved forum posts.

Does this mean that my email address is now sent to all of them?

This guy also sent 2 PM's to me.  The initial notification comes from noreply@connect.symantec.com.  The second one comes with his e-mail address.

...oh that isn't good!

I will not be sending or replying to PMs until we have confirmation that our email addresses won't be sent as part of the notification!

Marianne,

Will you send me a PM so that I can recreate this? I'll put a quick fix on it if we can isolate the problem.

Thanks,

Leslie

The notification for your PM was fine.

Hi everyone. At this point it looks to be an isolated case(s). However, if you see something again, please let me know immediately and I'll take it to the developers.

I had a notification of a private message this morning which was addressed as the users e-mail:

noreply@connect.symantec.com; on behalf of; anjurasool@gmail.com

So this is the same as Marianne reported - even the same user - LOL!

Hi everyone. I think I've solved this. ;D

In your profile there is an option for private messages to be sent from your personal email address. This user has this checked. (It is unchecked by default.) This is why you can see his email address.

Thanks for this Leslie!!

I've been too scared to send PMs since yesterday!

Nice sleuting Leslie!
