Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Normally, when using webform, the email FROM works just fine. However, since this particular form is supposed to go to an automatic newsletter list updater, it would seem it's not working the way I thought it would. When the Email Address field is marked as "Send From" address, this is what should end up in the newsletter system. However, instead, I'm getting the httpd@ncp.server.com address instead, no matter from an email address also on the server, or my gmail account. It all shows the from address as the server, NOT the one entered in by the customer.
I looked around for some fixes, but seems most have to do with 5x. Any fix or additional modules for 6x version? Possibly 7x as well, since another site I'm building should have the same functionality.

vernond commentedHave you used Webforms with this list updater before?

maddan69@gmail.com commentedI had a similar issue, not sure it it's related but here goes.
Was using the SMTP module in dev as no useable mailserver in my VM environment, but when I went to my production site, I disabled the SMTP module so that Drupal would use my hosts mailserver. The "from" address kept including my old email address despite the fact that I had updated everything on the site.
After digging around I found that despite having the SMTP module disabled, Drupal was still using the mailer facilities buried beneath this module.
Fix - rename (or delete) the SMTP module folder and hey presto, it worked. Disabling the SMTP module is not sufficient.
Cheers,
Martin.
P.S. This is my first post on the site, so not sure if this should be raised as an issue against the SMTP module or something with Drupal Core? I'm running Drupal 6.22

quicksketchThis sounds like it would be a bug against Drupal core.
I'm closing this issue after a lack of updates from the original poster.
