does anyone know OOTB how you can set emails being sent to the store owner to come from the the customers email address?
or maybe two separate confirmation emails...one to the store owner (which has customer in the from address) and one to the customer (which has store owner in the from address)
one reason for this is that I seem to be having SMTP issues sending to the store owner when the email is coming from the store owners domain.
any advice or help appreciated. especially if it's to say, you're doing it wrong :)
You should be able to send e-mail to receivers on the domain, which is also the sender of the e-mail. It must be a server config prohibiting you from doing so. If you want to send two separate e-mails you can easily add a send SendEmail task to the check out pipeline.
If you look towards the bottom of the checkout pipeline you'll see the config for the order confirmation e-mail. You can add a second step there and set that up to send another e-mail.
it was a server config issue which I've since fixed. but am I right that there's currently no way (through config alone) for an email to be sent from [email protected] because when you set up the Email Profile the from field doesnt take any variables, just a hardcoded email.
its not really a problem, but it might be a good feature for future versions.
OOTB email options
Hi uCommerce people,

as always, thanks for your response!
Not sure I understand why you'd want to send e-mail on behalf of the customer? Is it to make it easier to reply to?
is working on a reply...
