Gmail warning when mails sent from OJS

Software Support
1

Hi,
When an automatic e-mail is sent from OJS to gmail users, they receive the mail, but also a warning.

“Be careful with this message
Gmail has not been able to verify that it comes from @gmail.com. Avoid clicking on links, download attached files…”

This happens when all users involved in mails are gmail users (ie., the user triggering a send-mail event is registered with a gmail account and the addressee is also a user registered with a gmail account)

Can anything be done at OJS configuration level so as gmail is less obstructive?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards,
Juan

Hi @jascanio

Have a look at the email configuration options within OJS, for forcing envelope headers, and starting in 3.1.2, support for DMARC, where the From: header is munged. You can configure OJS to place the user’s email address in the Reply-To field, not the From: field, and set the return-path accordingly, to another address that you have control over, like a system account on the server hosting your OJS install.

Cheers,
Jason

For sure, just not the DMARC part. Everything else is possible, and has been in OJS for quite a long time now.
