The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Currently the module uses the default "from" address for the site.
It would be nice if the admin could set a different address.

gregglesIn retrospect, this seems like code bloat. I'm not sure this feature belongs in comment notify.
Comment #2
gregglesI guess nobody's arguing for it/against it except for me. Won't fix it is!
Comment #3
WildBill commentedI'm in favor of this feature. In particular, it would be cool if the notification was from "MyName" rather than from "admin@mydomain.com".
Comment #4
doublejosh commentedDefinitely a +1 for me!
We want to use a site default email that's more valid and has a person watching it. But the comment notify emails need to come from no-reply@ so people know not to reply and we don't get overwhelmed by bounces from bad comment emails!
Seems like a no brainer.

Shai commented+ 1 for a no-reply email address.
Comment #6
gregglesSure - anyone want to post a patch?
Comment #7
ADrupalUser commented+1.
I allow anonymous users to subscribe with comment notify, but if they put in a fake email address then the default "From" account constantly gets bounce backs. Very annoying.
Comment #8
chris burge commentedPatch attached that adds requested functionality.
Comment #9
chris burge commentedI should add that if you're concerned about exposing your admin e-mail address, then you should look at the mail header of an outgoing message to make sure it isn't be exposed as the 'return-path' address or elsewhere.
Comment #10
chris burge commentedUpdated patch. The previous patch didn't allow for the site admin e-mail address to be used, which is the existing behavior. This updated patch adds this as an option, which may be desirable in certain circumstances.
