Hi Dannon,

thanks for the info. I'd like to take this a small step further. I added
the variable smtp_from to universe_wsgi.ini. Then I modified the
util.send_mail in ./lib/galaxy/util/__init__.py to check if
config.smtp_from is set:

if config.smtp_from is None:
msg[ 'From' ] = frm
else:
msg[ 'From' ] = config.smtp_from

Still frm is set to the old value (galaxy-no-reply@computeserver). Can
anyone point me to the place where universe_wsgi.ini is actually parsed
and the config dictionary is filled?

The parsing of the config file is done as part of Python's paste and it's then made available to the rest of Galaxy via lib/galaxy/config.py. There is only one instance of that class for the entire app but the send_mail method you were looking at does not have access to that object. So, you should look higher up in the hierarchy and set frm in the method that calls send_mail (there seem to be several places where it's called).

Good luck,

Enis

Holger

I took a quick look, and it does look like everything that sends mail uses util.send_mail, so you could just modify that method to ignore the input frm parameter and immediately set it to frm = 'galaxy@imb-mainz.de' and you should be good to go.
