Where are e-mail notification "From Name" (not the email address) set?
-
I would like to customize the from name in my email notifications. Currently it is "Firewall Email Report". How does one change that?
-
@networkpros Pretty sure the only place is System/Advanced/Notifications/From e-mail address
That's just a label and can be whatever you want, not necessarily an email address. -
"System/Advanced/Notifications/From e-mail address" is validated for example by Gmail smtp and must be a valid address.
-
@psp Oh, OK. Just the label works fine with Comcast. How about
My Firewall <email@example.com>
This works with Comcast, too.
-
...and this syntax works fine with Gmail too! Thanks for the tip.
