Hey Evan, The following diff *should* add a new config option in universe_wsgi.ini called no_reply_email_from that can be used to set from when sending these activation emails. If you are feeling brave, try it out and let me know how it goes. I have not recreated this problem (read I have not tested this at all) - but if this works for you I would be happy to commit it to -central. https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-central/commit/9f023a72a56bce5efb6b1cef1... https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-central/commit/9f023a72a56bce5efb6b1cef1... -John On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 5:56 PM, Evan Bollig <boll0107@umn.edu> wrote:

On a local instance of Galaxy, I get this error when attempting to reset my password:

Failed to reset password: (501, '5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax', 'galaxy-no-reply@10.32.16.121')

I am told my mail server requires the from address to either have a domain name, or the IP address to be in brackets (e.g., [10.32.16.121]). Is there an option to configure the from address format, or override the address?

If there are no configuration options, what files would I need to modify to add brackets? The domain name is not an option.
