Issue when a tutor is sending emails about relate HOT 10 CLOSED

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20293986/how-do-i-send-email-from-a-users-email-address-with-django

It seems to be technically difficult to enable multiple tutors with different email address as sender on the website.

Maybe we can set a default email address to send notifications to users, and for some specific emails, e.g., enrollment decision, or feedback of exercise, add the tutors' email as the reply-to header so that students can communicate with tutor directly.

For my courses, I made a policy decision that the students should not be aware who graded their work. But it would certainly be possible to include a 'cc me' box (or a corresponding course-wide setting). I'd be happy to take a patch.

So do you mean you agree that course.from_email can not be set as a sender if it is not the same as the server_email in settings.py?

No, I don't think I'm saying that--it should be possible to set it to anything you like.

When I use different email addresses (course.from_email="[email protected]", settings.SERVER_EMAIL="[email protected]), I got an internal server error: SMTPSenderRefused(501, 'mail from address must be same as authorization user', u'[email protected]') when I send an enrollment decision email to students. However, If the two email address are the same, it works without problem.

Maybe it's the problem of my mail service provider.

I'd imagine so.

Thanks.

The issue was solved when I use gmail as the site email. Now I have to use email other than gmail, as gmail is 404 in some country where I set up my server. I realize that most email service here do not allow sender to have a different email than the site email. There should be an option in the settings so that . I'll try to make a patch.

Sounds good, will be happy to take it.
