I just got ActiveCollab installed after chasing down php5 resources. I am enjoying the interface and am going through and setting up things.

Now the problem is I've sent a few emails and the From or Sender name is displaying the email address or the associated name in Gmail for example. I sent test emails to other domains I control and realize it will be important to indicate to clients the emails are coming from the ActiveCollab install. What is suggested? I know when I view the header info in an email, it shows: FirstName LastName <firstlast@domain.com>

Thanks in advance!

From header for emails is always set to the email address of the person who did the action. If you created a message notification email will use email address from your profile as From: value. Change your email and you'll change how its sent.

There is no global from setting. You can hack Notifier class (/application/model/notifier/Notifier.class.php) to change this behavior.
Follow @activecollab and activeCollab on Facebook.
