Postfix: change the sender address

If your server sends out mail and you don’t want the messages to be delivered from [email protected], then you can change the sender address.

In php.ini bring the sendmail_path value to this form:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix -t -i -F "no-reply"

Restart apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

or

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Changing the postfix settings is an alternative.

For that add this line to the /etc/postfix/main.cf file:

smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic

Add this to the /etc/postfix/generic file:

[email protected] [email protected]

Create the hash file:

postmap /etc/postfix/generic

Restart postfix:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart
