Mail 'from' option shows no effect

[aronmal]

Issue Summary

When I try to sign up I get an error "Failed to send magic link email" and looking in the log it shows an error.

I host the ghost blog at the subdomain blog.domain.de and want to send from [email protected]. I have added the "from" attribute to the config but it does not seem to be respected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. install ghost docker container
2. map custom production json config with:

  "mail": {
    "transport": "SMTP",
    "from": "'Blog domain.de' <[email protected]>",
    "options": {
      "host": "smtp.domain.de",
      "port": 465,
      "secure": true,
      "auth": {
        "user": "[email protected]",
        "pass": "SeCuRePaSsWoRd"
      }
    }
  },

3. Go to main Paige and Sign up
4. Getting error message displayed

Hello,

I already searched in the forum for an answer to my problem. I added the mail configuration to my config but got this error. So I kindly ask you if it could be a bug (what I don't hope, but my config is how it should be, according to the docs and forum posts). So how could that be?

Thanks for replies.

I am running into the same issue.

The from email is used when inviting a new staff member, but not when someone subscribes...

Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated
