Configuring Default Email Senders
By default, emails sent by Liferay DXP use the name and email address as the default admin user. This behavior can be configured for each of the different email types.
Changing the Default Email Sender
To change the default email sender, follow these steps:
-
Open the Product Menu and navigate to the Control Panel → Configuration → Instance Settings.
-
Click Email.
-
Click Email Sender.
-
Enter your values for the following fields:
- Name
- Address
-
Click Save.
Using Portal Properties to Configure the Default Email Sender
The default email sender can also be configured using a portal-ext.properties
file. The following property values can be replaced with your own:
admin.email.from.name=Joe Bloggs
admin.email.from.address=test@domain.invalid
Changing the Email Sender for Announcements
The Announcements application uses its own distinct sender. To configure the sender name and address for announcement emails you must use a portal-ext.properties
file. Replace the following property values with your own:
announcements.email.to.name=
announcements.email.to.address=noreply@domain.invalid
Blacklisted Emails
The following emails are blacklisted by default and cannot be used in any DXP installation:
noreply@liferay.com
test@liferay.com
noreply@domain.invalid
test@domain.invalid
Attempts to use the above emails result in a logged WARN
trace:
Email xxx will be ignored because it is included in mail.send.blacklist
